We discuss left-orderability of groups and its relation to other group properties, such as the unique product property. We pass on to left-orders on the free group and discuss combination theorems that help construct negatively curved groups that are left-orderable. We will argue that there are continuum many such small cancellation groups up to quasiisometry that are not locally indicable. Further, every finitely generated group is a quotient of a left-orderable small cancellation group by a finitely generated subgroup (Rips construction)
