Basic notions: $1$, A partially ordered set is a  **dcpo** if each of its directed subsets has a supremum. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_partial_order)\\

$2$,  A subset O of a dcpo P is called Scott-open if it is an upper set and if it is inaccessible by directed joins, i.e. if all directed sets D with supremum in O have non-empty intersection with O. The Scott-open subsets of a dcpo P form a topology on P, the **Scott topology**.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_continuity)\\


**When is the Scott topology on a dcpo sober?** This is a very basic and interesting  question in Domain Theory. Johnstone firstly gave an example of dcpo whose Scott topology is not sober(https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2FBFb0089899#page=294).


 Recently, I have read a short paper "COMPLETION OF A CONSTRUCTION OF JOHNSTONE"  by Isbell (http://www.ams.org/journals/proc/1982-085-03/S0002-9939-1982-0656096-4/S0002-9939-1982-0656096-4.pdf). In the paper he gave a complete lattice whose Scott topology is not sober. But the example is hard to understand, so I am wondering if there is an easier example for this.

By the way, there is an open problem: Find a distributive lattice whose Scott topology is not sober.(Solved)
