Abstract
Let F be a non-archimedean o-field and \(C=F(i)\) be the field of generalized complex numbers over F. In Ma et al. (Order 35:461–466, 2018), all directed partial orders on C with \(1>0\) are classified using admissible semigroups of \(F^{+}\). This paper classifies all the directed partial orders on C with \(1\not >0\) using special convex subsets of \(F^{+}\). As a consequence, the (non-archimedean) analogue of Fuchs’ question in 1963 is answered completely.
