In his paper “On the structure of ordered real vector spaces” (Publ. Math. Debrecen 4 (1955–56), 334–343), Erdös shows that a totally ordered real vector space of countable dimension is order isomorphic to a lexicographic direct sum of copies of the group of real numbers. Brown, in “Valued vector spaces of countable dimension” (Publ. Math. Debrecen 18 (1971), 149–151), extends the result to a valued vector space of countable dimension and greatly simplifies the proof. In this note it is shown that a finite valued vector lattice of countable dimension is order isomorphic to a direct sum of o–simple totally ordered vector spaces. One obtains as corollaries the result of Erdös and the applications that Brown makes to totally ordered spaces.
