Neumann's totally ordered power series fields and division rings may be tipped over to form archimedean lattice-ordered fields and division rings. This process is described and then generalised to produce non-archimedean lattice-ordered fields and division rings in which 1 > 0 and, as well, ones in which 1 ≯ 0.
