Recall that a topological space \(X\) is said to be splittable over a class \({\mathcal P}\) of topological spaces if for every subset \(A\) of \(X\) there exist \(Y \in {\mathcal P}\) and a continuous mapping \(f:X \to Y\) such that \(f^{\gets}(f(A)) = A\). This idea is applied to partially ordered topological spaces and sets. The main result: If a linearly ordered set \(C\) is splittable by increasing mappings over a partially ordered set \(Y\), then \(C\) is order embeddable in \(Y\). This result should be compared with the following result of \textit{A.V. Arkhangel'skij} [Topology Appl. 48, No. 2, 163-178 (1992; Zbl 0786.54015)]: every compactum which is splittable over \({\mathbb R}\) is homeomorphic to a subspace of \({\mathbb R}\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0907.00034].
