Ordered groups - examples

Let $G=BS(m,n)$ denote the Baumslag–Solitar groups defined by the presentation $\langle a,b: b^m a=a b^n\rangle$.

We assume that G is non-abelian.

Question: Find $m,n$ such that $G$ is an ordered group, i.e. $G$ is a group on which a partial order relation $\le $ is given such that for any elements $x,y,z \in G$, from $x \le y$ it follows that $xz \le yz$ and $zx \le zy$.
