preordered

Secured before release

Preordered describes something ordered in advance of its release or availability: I preordered the new album months ago.

Video games, books, and electronics are commonly preordered to guarantee a copy on launch day.

In mathematics, preordered refers to a set with a reflexive and transitive relation—a weaker condition than a full ordering.
