This is an alphabetically sorted list of living Viridiplantae orders. This list, similarly to the more taxonomical version, is based primarily on the work of Ruggiero et al. 2015. Living orders of lycophytes and ferns are taken from Christenhusz et al. 2011b and Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group, living orders of gymnosperms are added from Christenhusz et al. 2011a, and extinct orders are from Anderson, Anderson & Cleal 2007. For the version sorted by taxonomic relation, see List of plant orders.
