| contents | Let $M$ be the disk or a compact, connected surface without boundary different from the sphere $S^2$ and the real projective plane $\mathbb{R}P^2$, and let $N$ be a compact, connected surface (possibly with boundary). It is known that the pure braid groups $P_n(M)$ of $M$ are bi-orderable, and, for $n\geq 3$, that the full braid groups $B_n(M)$ of $M$ are not bi-orderable. The main purpose of this article is to show that for all $n \geq 3$, any subgroup $H$ of $B_n(N)$ that satisfies $P_n(N) \subsetneq H \subset B_n(N)$ is not bi-orderable. |
