This study is inspired by those of Huang et al. (Soft Comput. 25, 2513–2520, 2021) and Wang et al. (Inf. Sci. 179, 3026–3040, 2009) in which some ranking techniques for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs) were introduced. In this study, we prove that the space of all IVIFNs with the relation in the method for comparing any two IVIFNs based on a score function and three types of entropy functions is a complete chain and obtain that this relation is an admissible order. Moreover, we demonstrate that IVIFNs are complete chains to the relation in the comparison method for IVIFNs on the basis of score, accuracy, membership uncertainty index, and hesitation uncertainty index functions.
