One of the features that make right-ordered groups harder to investigate than ordered groups is that their system of convex subgroups may fail to have the following property:

(*) if C and C’ are convex subgroups of G and C’ covers C, then C is normal in C’ and C’/C is order-isomorphic to a subgroup of the naturally ordered additive group of real numbers.
