    This paper deals with an infinite family of left-ordered groups that have a positive cone that is generated by two elements as a semigroup. This family corresponds to families of certain central extensions of Hecke groups, and contains the Klein bottle group and the braid group \(B_3\). On each group of this family the author defines an ordering sharing many properties with Dehornoy's. Several related questions and problems are also formulated.
