Technically, people have polynomials with uncountably many variables, so you can't order them.


Each polynomial has only finitely many variables in it. If you were to work with uncountably many variables I assume one would impose a well ordering on those variables. I’ve never worked with a polynomial ring with uncountably many variables. No one is going to solve an equation with uncountably many variables so I’m not sure the point you are trying to make.
