A complete ordered field has a unique ordering

A complete ordered field has a unique ordering.




Does my attempt look fine or contain logical flaws/gaps? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help!





My attempt:



Let $langle A,+,cdot,0,1 rangle$ be a field and $<_1,<_2$ be a linear orders on $A$ such that $langle A,<_1,+,cdot,0,1 rangle$, $langle A,<_2,+,cdot,0,1 rangle$ are complete ordered fields.



Assume that $a le_1 b$ and $b le_ 2 a$. Then $0 le_1 b-a$ and thus there exists a unique $0 le_1 x$ such that $x^2=b-a$. Let $y=a-b$, then $0 le_2 y$. We have $x^2+y=0$ and $0 le_2 y$ $implies x^2 le_2 0$ $implies x^2=0 implies a=b$. Hence $le_1 space =space le_2$.

    You need to know that every positive element in a complete ordered field is a square.

    Hi @LordSharktheUnknown, I actually did use your idea in my proof. Have you seen any error/gap in it?

    It's just a lemma that you need to prove....
