The definability of a linear order on a class of finite rigid structures is studied systematically. Among the logics considered are least fixpoint logic LFP, the logic LFP(R), where R is the Rescher quantifier, partial fixpoint logic PFP, and infinitary logic. In particular, it is shown that the minimal order partial query is implicitly definable in PFP.
