or linearly orderable if there exists a total order on its elements such that the order topology induced by that order and the given topology on X coincide. The order topology makes X into a completely normal Hausdorff space.

The standard topologies on R, Q, Z, and N are the order topologies.

Induced order topology

If Y is a subset of X, X a totally ordered set, then Y inherits a total order from
