G;<) is an ordered group if '<' is a total order relation on G in which f < g implies that xfy < xgy for all f;g;x;y 2 G: We say that (G;<) is centrally ordered if (G;<) is ordered and (G;D) C for every convex jump C D in G. Equivalently, if f 1gf g2 for all f;g 2 G with g > 1: Every order on a torsion-free locally nilpotent group is central. We prove that if every order on every two-generator subgroup of a locally soluble orderable group G is central, then G is locally nilpotent. We also provide an example of a non-nilpotent two- generator metabelian orderable group in which all orders are central.
