Normal relatively convex subgroups of solvable orderable groups

Orderable solvable groups in which every relatively convex subgroup is normal are studied. If such a class is subgroup closed than it is precisely the class of solvable orderable groups which are locally of finite (Mal'tsev) rank. A criterion for an orderable metabelian group to have every relatively convex subgroup normal is given. Examples of an orderable solvable group $G$ of length three with periodic $G/G'$ and of an orderable solvable group of length four with only one proper normal relatively convex subgroup are constructed.
