What is the difference between segregated witness (segwit) and canonical transaction ordering (CTOR) ?
Transaction order in the blockchain

TTOR (Topological Transaction Ordering) is used by Bitcoin and pre-CTOR Bitcoin Cash. In TTOR, there might be multiple possible ways to sort transactions. The only requirement is, chain of transactions should be sorted by time and the coinbase transaction must be the first.
Let's say there are A, B and C transactions, and assume that there's no coinbase transaction. A and B are usual transactions, but C spends at least one output of B. The possible orderings are:
A B C
B A C
B C A
Amaclin is right, SegWit didn't change anything related to them.

These things are not related to each other at all. So, talking about differences between them is nonsense.
Do you think the CTOR ordering is more efficient then TTOR ordering ? Are there any downsides ? – laizess – 2018-11-24T09:00:31.887

It was needed, because Graphene, which is an enhanced Compact Blocks, requires any ordering algorithm that had no more than one way to order. CTOR was chosen and analyzed here. A critique can be found here.
