Abstract: We prove that for any finite Thurston-type ordering ${<}_T$ on the braid group $B_n$, the restriction to the positive braid monoid $(B_n^{+},{<}_T)$ is a well-ordered set of order type $omeg{a}^{omeg{a}^{n-2}}$. The proof uses a combi natorial description of the ordering ${<}_T$. Our combinatorial description is based on a new normal form for positive braids which we call the $C$-normal fo rm. It can be seen as a generalization of Burckel's normal form and Dehornoy's $Phi$-normal form (alternating normal form).
