Abstract: Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system with set of reflections $T$. It is known that if $\prec $ is a total reflection order for $W$, then, for each $s\in S$, $\{t\in T\mid t\prec s\}$ and its complement are stable under conjugation by $s$. Moreover the upper and lower $s$-conjugates of $\prec $ are still total reflection orders. For any total order $\prec $ on $T$, say that $\prec $ is stable if $\{t\in T\mid t\prec s\}$ is stable under conjugation by $s$ for each $s\in S$. We prove that if $\prec $ and all orders obtained from $\prec $ by successive lower or upper $S$-conjugations are stable, then $\prec $ is a total reflection order.
