R. E. Johnson (10), Utumi (18), and Findlayand Lambek (7) have defined for each ring R a unique maximal "ring of right quotients" Q. When R is a commutative integral domain (in this paper an integral domain need not be commutative) or an Ore domain, then Q is the usual division ring of quotients of R. Moreover, it is well known that in these special cases, if R is totally ordered, then so is Q.

The main purpose of this paper is to study the ring of quotients Q, and in particular its order properties, for certain lattice-ordered rings R.
