Stochastic orders are useful tools for comparing random variables or random vectors, as well as for stochastic processes. In this article, we describe some basic results about monotonicity and comparability of stochastic processes with respect to some stochastic orders, particularly, with respect to the ordinary stochastic order ≤
st
. After introducing some results about general stochastic processes, we focus on monotonicity and comparability of Markov chains. Furthermore, we discuss the orderings of elements of Markov chains with respect to the supermodular order, and we also give some details about stochastic comparisons of point processes. References to additional results are given.
