Abstract: This paper continues the investigations of noncommutative ordered spaces put forward by one of the authors. These metaphoric spaces are defined dually by so-called emph{isocones} which generalize to the noncommutative setting the convex cones of order-preserving functions. In this paper we will consider the case of isocones inside almost-commutative algebras of the form $calC(M)otimes{A}_f$, with $M$ a compact metrizable space. We will give a family of isocones in such an algebra with the property that every possible isocone is contained in exactly one member of the family. We conjecture that this family is in fact a complete classification, a hypothesis related with the noncommutative Stone-Weierstrass conjecture. We also obtain that every isocone in $calC(M)otimes{A}_f$, with $A_f$ noncommutative, induces an order relation on $M$ with the property that every point in $M$ lies in a neighbourhood of incomparable points. Thus, if the causal order relation on spacetime is induced by an isocone in an almost-commutative (but not commutative) algebra, then causality must disappear at small scale.
