We present a novel surface phenomenon found in the investigation of the ordering kinetics near the surface of Cu{sub 3}Au(001). Monitoring different classes of Fourier components of the ordered L1{sub 2} structure by time-resolved x-ray scattering, we found a giant anisotropy in the relaxation behavior. The layered structure normal to the surface relaxes ultrafast while lateral ordering occurs much more slowly ({tau}{sup -1}{sub {perpendicular}}{gt}20{tau}{sup -1}{sub {parallel}}). We argue that the recently discovered oscillating segregation profile acts as a two-dimensional nucleating sheet for ordering wave vectors normal to the surface. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
