      The operation of pushing down elements in the diagram of a finite ordered set introduced by Mosesian in 1972 is studied in this paper. Necessary and sufficient conditions are proved which answer the following questions: which orientations of the underlying graph can be obtained from a given orientation by pushing down and which sets of vertices can become the sets of maximal elements in such orientations. These results are extended to cover also all induced subgraphs and arbitrary orientations of a finite graph.
