Abstract:
If a group has an ascending series of subgroups such that for each ordinal , and has no non-abelian free subsemigroup, then is right orderable if and only if it is locally indicable. In particular if is a radical-by-periodic group, then it is right orderable if and only if it is locally indicable.
