Review text

The following question is discussed: How many right orders may a group possess? The main theorem: The number of right orders of a nontrivial locally indicable group is either \(2^n\), where \(n\) is a positive integer, or uncountable. Corollary: The number of right orders on an orderable group is either 2 or uncountable.
