    In his book: Linear orderings [Academic Press, New York (1982; Zbl 0488.04002)], \textit{J. G. Rosenstein} asked if there was a complete theory of linear orderings with a computable model and a prime model, but no computable prime model. The author uses Khisamiev's technique of ``limitwise monotonic'' functions, together with coding a construction from the literature (specifically, \textit{R. J. Coles}, \textit{R. Downey} and \textit{B. Khoussainov} [Order 14, 107-124 (1998; Zbl 0915.03040)]) to give an affirmative answer to this longstanding question.
