It would be more precise to say that an ordering induces GetLastRecord 
function, and vice versa. If you have a total ordering, then the "last" record 
is the one that compares greater than all others in this ordering.

In the other direction, if you have GetLastRecord(set_of_records) function 
defined somehow, then you can pick the last record, remove it from the set, 
pick the last of the remaining, remove that one from the set, and so on. This 
process generates a total ordering of the set.
