Zero-selectors and GO spaces

We are dealing with Vietoris continuous zero-selectors, i.e., they choose for each non-empty closed set F an isolated point in F. We show that the presence of a continuous zero-selector even on a small class of non-empty closed sets of a space X implies that X is scattered if X is metrizable or non-Archimedean or a P-space. Finally, using continuous zero-selectors, we characterize suborderable spaces which are subspaces of ordinals.
