Professor George Janelidze posed the problem whether the study of classical topological coverings via categorical Galois Theory could be extended to the setting of relational algebras (see, e.g., [\textit{G. Dzhanelidze}, J. Algebra 132, No. 2, 270--286 (1990; Zbl 0702.18006)]. It is the purpose of this paper to give a first contribution to the investigation of coverings in the realm of relational algebras. In particular the authors obtain new characterizations for effective descent maps in the categories of \(M\)-ordered sets, for a given monoid \(M,\) and of multi-ordered sets.
