Lexicographic shellability is an important tool for studying the topological properties of the order complexes of partially ordered sets. Although, as we shall see in Remark 12.4, discrete Morse theory is more powerful as a method, shellability may still be useful in concrete applications. We take a detailed look at this concept in this section.
