Using the language of twisted skew-commutative algebras, we define \emph{secondary representation stability}, a stability pattern in the {\it unstable} homology of spaces that are representation stable in the sense of Church, Ellenberg, and Farb. We show that the rational homology of configuration spaces of ordered points in noncompact manifolds satisfies secondary representation stability. While representation stability for the homology of configuration spaces involves stabilizing by introducing a point ``near infinity,'' secondary representation stability involves stabilizing by introducing a pair of orbiting points -- an operation that relates homology groups in different homological degrees. This result can be thought of as a representation-theoretic analogue of \emph{secondary homological stability} in the sense of Galatius, Kupers, and Randal-Williams. In the course of the proof we establish some additional results: we give a new characterization of the homology of the complex of injective words, and we give a new proof of integral representation stability for configuration spaces of noncompact manifolds, extending previous results to nonorientable manifolds.
