Although Dehornoy orderings of braid groups are the most natural left orderings of such, their algebraic properties are rather complicated. This paper introduces and investigates a class of Dehornoy-like orderings for finitely generated groups. Under a special assumption on an ordered finite generating set of a finitely generated group \(G\), a simple relationship is established between Dehornoy-like and isolated orderings of \(G\), and some properties of the Dehornoy ordering of the braid group \(B_n\) are generalised to Dehornoy-like ordering of a finitely generated group. A significant example of Dehornoy-like ordering is defined on the amalgamated free product of two infinite cyclic groups, and as a result, it is proved that such a class of groups admits isolated left orderings. Using properties of Dehornoy-like orderings, a left ordering is constructed which admits no non-trivial proper convex subgroups.
