In the setting of uniformly convex Banach spaces equipped with a partially ordered relation, we survey the existence of fixed points for monotone orbitally nonexpansive mappings. In this way, we extend and improve the main results of Alfuraidan and Khamsi [M. R. Alfuraidan, M. A. Khamsi, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 146, (2018), 2451-2456]. Examples are given to show the usability of our main conclusions. We also study the existence of an optimal solution for cyclic contractions in such spaces.
