Order is a specialist journal devoted to the theory of order and its applications. It is an authoritative forum on new and important developments in the subject especially those with applications to computer science and operations research. For instance order arises in complexity computational geometry data structures scheduling search and sorting. Order occurs throughout mathematics and especially in algebra combinatorics geometry model theory set theory and topology. This abundance and diversity throughout the mathematical landscape enriches and invigorates the theory of order itself. Order documents and promotes this vitality.
