The statement that every partial order can be extended to a total order is known as the '''order-extension principle'''. A proof using the [[axiom of choice]] was first published by [[Edward Marczewski]] in 1930. Marczewski writes that the theorem had previously been proven by [[Stefan Banach]], [[Kazimierz Kuratowski]], and [[Alfred Tarski]], again using the axiom of choice, but that the proofs had not been published.<ref>{{citation
