I would use "ordering" to mean the relation or function that orders (ranks) elements, and I'd use "order" to refer the actual progression. So by applying an ordering, you get elements in a particular order. My dictionary lists them as synonyms for this, but "order" has the unfortunate potential to be confused with the verb, and generally seems to have more possible meanings than "ordering". > I'm not a native English speaker Me neither. :-) -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
