Still another approach to the braid ordering

We develop a new approach to the linear ordering of the braid group $B_n$, based on investigating its restriction to the set $\Div(\Delta_n^d)$ of all divisors of $\Delta_n^d$ in the monoid $B_\infty^+$, i.e., to positive $n$-braids whose normal form has length at most $d$. In the general case, we compute several numerical parameters attached with the finite orders $(\Div(\Delta_n^d), <)$. In the case of $3$ strands, we moreover give a complete description of the increasing enumeration of $(\Div(\Delta_3^d), <)$. We deduce a new and specially direct construction of the ordering on $B_3$, and a new proof of the result that its restriction to $B_3^+$ is a well-ordering of ordinal type $\omega^\omega$
