A non-metrizable compact linearly ordered topological space, every subspace of which has a -minimal base

A collection of subsets of a space is minimal if each element of contains a point which is not contained in any other element of . A base of a topological space is -minimal if it can be written as a union of countably many minimal collections. We will construct a compact linearly ordered space satisfying that is not metrizable and every subspace of has a -minimal base for its relative topology. This answers a problem of Bennett and Lutzer in the negative.
