    The authors study order isomorphisms in finite dimensional ordered vector spaces. Using different methods, the theorems of Alexandrov, Zeeman, and Rothaus (which are valid for non-angular cones) are generalized to wider classes of cones, including polyhedral cones. They show that whenever the cone has more than \(n\) generic extremal vectors, an order isomorphism must be affine. If there are \(n\) extremal rays, the transform has a restricted diagonal form. To this end the authors prove a new version of the fundamental theorem of affine geometry. They apply their results to the cone of positive semi-definite matrices and give a characterization of its order isomorphisms.
