Abstract R. Baer asked whether the group operation of every (totally) ordered group can be redefined, keeping the same ordered set, so that the resulting structure is an Abelian ordered group. The answer is no. We construct an ordered set (G, ⩽) which carries an ordered group (G, •, ⩽) but which islawless in the following sense. If (G, *, ⩽) is an ordered group on the same carrier (G, ⩽), then the group (G, *) satisfies no nontrivial equational law.
