Order is an asymmetric, or directed relation. Ordering as a physical phenomenon, has a lot to do with spacetime. It would be particularly relevant to cite Hermann Minkowski: The following quote appeared in Spacetime Physics[1], on page 15:
Henceforth space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a union of the two will preserve an independent reality.
— Hermann Minkowski, 1864-1909
