In 2002, the same gang of four authors wrote Why Are Braids Orderable and published it in a French Mathematical Society series. This is a sequel, they say, not a second edition: though it contains most of the previous information, it has been totally rewritten and scads of new information has been added. The question in the original title has shifted somewhat as well: They still do not know what makes the braid groups so special that they enjoy an ordering so easy to describe, so challenging to construct, and with such subtle properties. So rather than asking why they can be ordered, they are satisfied with describing how. Readers are assumed to have some background in group theory and topology.
