Astier and Tressl have recently proven that a pp formula fails on a finite subspace of a space of orderings if and only if a certain family of formulae is verified (V. Astier, M. Tressl, Axiomatization of localglobal principles for pp formulas in spaces of orderings, Arch. Math. Logic 44, No. 1 (2005), 77-95). The proof given in their paper is nonconstructive and uses rather advanced techniques...
