Let $(S, \leq)$ be a partial order. Let $T$ be the set of antichains of $S$ (i.e., subsets of $S$ whose elements are pairwise incomparable). Define a relation $\leq'$ on $T$ as follows: for all $A$, $B \in T$, $A \leq' B$ iff $\forall x \in A, \exists y \in B, x \leq y$.
It seems to me that $\leq'$ is also a partial order (it is reflexive, transitive and antisymmetric), and I feel this construction is natural enough to be standard, but I can't find a name for it. How is this construction called? Are there other ways to extend a partial order on a set to a partial order on antichains?
Bonus question: Does $\leq'$ share some of $\leq$'s properties? For instance, if $\leq$ is a well-quasi-ordering, is $\leq'$ also a well-quasi-ordering?
For finite posets at least, there is a one to one correspondence between antichains and lower sets (an antichain $A$ defines the lower sets of elements $x$ such that $\exists y \in A,\,x \leq y$, and conversely the set of maximal elements of a lower set is an antichain). The order relation I have just given is the image of the inclusion order on lower sets under this correspondence: $A \leq' B$ iff $\overline{A} \subseteq \overline{B}$ for $\overline{A}$ and $\overline{B}$ the lower sets associated to $A$ and $B$.
The order induced by the inclusion order of the lower sets of a poset is well-known: is is a distributive lattice, and Birkhoff's representation theorem states that the mapping from posets to the distributive lattice of the inclusion order on its lower set is one-to-one. To wrap it up, the order relation I described in my question is isomorphic to the distributive lattice associated to $(S, \leq)$ by Birkhoff's representation theorem.
