How much choice is needed to show that formally real fields can be ordered?

Konrad Swanepoel's accepted answer shows what happens in the general case, for formally real fields of any cardinality. … The results for countable fields are thus analogous to those for fields of arbitrary cardinality, with weak König's lemma playing the role of the ultrafilter lemma and the base theory $\mathsf{RCA}_0$ …
