    We consider ordered polymatroids as a generalization of polymatroids and extend the extreme point characterization of polymatroids by the greedy algorithm to the ordered case. It is proved that a feasible point of an ordered polymatroid is a vertex iff it is a greedy-vector with respect to an appropriate primal greedy-procedure.
