How many ways we can order numbers?
Is there infinity ways to order numbers?
Is there a proof of it?

Well, two numbers, for example, can be ordered in two ways. If we allow partial orders, that is, allow elements $x$ and $y$ such that none of $x<y$, $y<x$ and $x=y$ holds, then there are three ways to order two numbers.
