We analyze the structure of topological spaces having monotonically normal compactifications. By results of Gruenhage and Eisworth, it is immediate that under PFA, the class M of uncountable subspaces of monotonically normal compacta has a 3-element basis. We show that the same holds under MA_{aleph_1}. Variants of the "canonical" basis are exhibited, further elucidating the structure of M. Our main tools are Nikiel's conjecture and a combinatorial lemma we establish for continuous images of compact ordered spaces. Not surprisingly, the double arrow space figures centrally in this study.
