Abstract: Different notions for order convergence have been considered by various authors. Associated to every notion of order convergence corresponds a topology, defined by taking as the closed sets those subsets of the poset satisfying that no net in them order converges to a point that is outside of the set. We shall give a thorough overview of these different notions and provide a systematic comparison of the associated topologies. Then, in the last section we shall give an application of this study by giving a result on von Neumann algebras complementing the study started in cite{ChHaWe}. We show that for every atomic von Neumann algebra (not necessarily $sigma$-finite) the restriction of the order topology to bounded parts of $M$ coincides with the restriction of the $sigma$-strong topology $s(M,M_{a}st)$. We recall that the methods of cite{ChHaWe} rest heavily on the assumption of $sigma$-finiteness. Further to this, for a semi-finite measure space, we shall give a complete picture of the relations between the topologies on $L^{i}nfty$ associated with the duality $langle{L}^1,L^{i}nftyangle$ and its order topology.
