orderings
Ways things line-up
Orderings is the plural of ordering, which names an arrangement or sequence.
In mathematics and computer science, an ordering specifies how elements relate to each other—alphabetical ordering, numerical ordering, partial ordering.
The database supports multiple orderings of search results.
In everyday use, orderings can mean instances of placing orders: We've had three orderings of that dish tonight.
