文摘We consider particular compatible orders on a given completely simple semi- group Sx= M（（x）; I, A; P） where （x） is an ordered cyclic group with x 〉 1 and p11= x-1. Of these, only the lexicographic and bootlace orders yield residuated semigroups. With the lexicographic order, Sx is orthodox and has a biggest idempotent. With the bootlace order, the maximal idempotents of Sx are identified by specific locations in the sandwich matrix. In the orthodox case there is also a biggest idempotent and, for sandwich matrices of a given size, uniqueness up to ordered semigroup isomorphism is established.
