Assuming a deductive theory is an ordered set of propositions, how could its order be defined mathematically ? Is it, for example, a lattice?

Monsieur Phi ( understand " Monsieur Philosophie") a philosophy teacher ( and also a logician) gives a visual presentation of Euclid's deductive system of geometry as an ordered set that looks like a lattice.

Is actually a deductive theory a lattice? ( It seems doubtful however, since the axioms of a theory are all minimal elements).

If not, how to caracterize formally the order of a deductive theory?

Are there different possible types of order for deductive theories?

Is it possible for two deductive theories to instantiate two different kinds of order?
