Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the interplay between henselian valuations and orderings (or semiorderings) of a ring. As a main result, it is proved that for a henselian valuation $ v$ on a ring $ R$, the following statements are equivalent: (1) $ v$ is compatible with every semiordering of $ R$; (2) $ v$ is compatible with every ordering of $ R$; (3) Every real prime ideal of $ R$ is contained in the core of $ v$.
