    Summary: The order complex of inclusion poset \(PF_n\) of Borel orbit closures in skew-symmetric matrices is investigated. It is shown that \(PF_n\) is an EL-shellable poset, and furthermore, its order complex triangulates a ball. The rank-generating function of \(PF_n\) is computed and the resulting polynomial is contrasted with the Hasse-Weil zeta function of the variety of skew-symmetric matrices over finite fields.
