Abstract
In this note we construct a nontrivial partial order on the identity component of the group of compactly supported contactomorphisms of \R2n+1 using the method of generating functions. Our construction is in the framework of the theory developed by Viterbo in the paper \cite{V} wherein, among other things, he showed how one could use generating functions to construct a partial order on the group of compactly supported Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of \R2n.
