When A and B are countable dense subsets of R, it is a well-known result of Cantor that A and B are order-isomorphic. A theorem of K.F. Barth and W.J. Schneider states that the order-isomorphism can be taken to be very smooth, in fact the restriction to R of an entire function. J.E. Baumgartner showed that consistently 2 N 0 > N 1 and any two subsets of R having N 1 points in every interval are order-isomorphic. However, U. Abraham, M. Rubin and S. Shelah produced a ZFC example of two such sets for which the order-isomorphism cannot be taken to be smooth. A useful variant of Baumgartner's result for second category sets was established by S. Shelah. He showed that it is consistent that 2 N 0 > N 1 and second category sets of cardinality N 1 exist while any two sets of cardinality N 1 which have second category intersection with every interval are order-isomorphic. In this paper, we show that the order-isomorphism in Shelah's theorem can be taken to be the restriction to R of an entire function. Moreover, using an approximation theorem of L. Hoischen, we show that given a nonnegative integer n, a nondecreasing surjection g: R → R of class C n and a positive continuous function e: R → R, we may choose the order-isomorphism f so that for all i = 0, 1,..., n and for all x ∈ R, |D i f(x)-D i g(x)|<∈(x).
