Abstract: In this article we prove that the lattice of noncrossing partitions is EL-shellable when associated with the well-generated complex reflection group of type $G(d,d,n)$, for $d,ngeq3$, or with the exceptional well-generated complex reflection groups which are no real reflection groups. This result was previously established for the real reflection groups and it can be extended to the well-generated complex reflection group of type $G(d,1,n)$, for $d,ngeq3$, as well as to three exceptional groups, namely $G_{25},G_{26}$ and $G_{32}$, using a braid group argument. We thus conclude that the lattice of noncrossing partitions of any well-generated complex reflection group is EL-shellable. Using this result and a construction by Armstrong and Thomas, we conclude further that the poset of $m$-divisible noncrossing partitions is EL-shellable for every well-generated complex reflection group. Finally, we derive results on the M"obius function of these posets previously conjectured by Armstrong, Krattenthaler and Tomie.
