contents An ordered variant of the well-known set theory concept of shattering was introduced by Anstee, Rónyai, and Sali. In this paper, we prove several new results related to order shattering. Given a family $\mathcal F$ of subsets of $[n]$, we show that $\mathrm{osh}(\mathcal F)$, the family of all sets order shattered by $\mathcal F$, coincides with $T(\mathcal F)$, the family obtained from $\mathcal F$ by the down-shift operation. We then give a full characterization of all sets that can be order shattered by some $\ell$-Sperner family. Finally, we completely determine $\mathrm{osh}\left(\binom{[n]}{a}\cup\binom{[n]}{b}\right)$.
