We consider order isomorphic and order linearly isometric copies of \(l^{\infty }\) in the quasi-normed Calderón–Lozanovskiĭ spaces \(E_{\varphi }\) . We present a number of theorems describing these copies in the natural language of suitable properties of the quasi-normed ideal space E and the non-decreasing Orlicz function \(\varphi \) . In particular, we will characterize quasi-normed Orlicz–Lorentz spaces having order isomorphic and order linearly isometric copies of \(l^{\infty }\) . Our studies are conducted in a full possible generality due to the measure space and the Orlicz function.
