I don't know the meaning of the word "norty", Paul - but I think you were
actually asking what part of speech "ordered" is and I thought you meant what
did the word mean!

I didn't look at ordered at all, as we were dealing with "to be". Naming parts
of speech has never been a strong point for me, so I'll let Ardith deal with
that! :-)
