Definition

Given a linearly ordered set (S,<)(S, \lt), its order topology is the topology on SS generated from the sub-basis βP(S)\beta \subset P(S)

β{(a,),(,a)} aS. \beta \coloneqq \left\{ (a,\infty), (-\infty,a) \right\}_{a \in S} \,.

whose elements are the “open half rays”

(a,){sS|a<s}AAAA(,a){sS|s<a}. (a, \infty) \coloneqq \left\{ s \in S \,\vert\, a \lt s \right\} \phantom{AAAA} (-\infty, a) \coloneqq \left\{ s \in S \,\vert\, s \lt a \right\} \,.
