Everything below was done by someone else’s research.

I googled “word with all vowels in correct order”

The shortest and most common word I found that meets your criteria

is “facetious”. “facetiously” also contains the vowels in the right order and

even has a ‘y’ at the end as an added bonus. Here is a list of other words

that meet your criteria in the strictest sense, with no vowels occurring

outside of their allotted place:

abstemious

abstemiously

abstentious

adventitious

adventitiously

arenicolous

arsenious

cavernicolous

Here are some other words that have all five vowels in the correct order, but

also contain some duplicate vowels which are out of order:

abstemiousness

abstemiousnesses

adenocarcinomatous

amentiferous

anemophilous

antireligious

argentiferous

arteriovenous

autoecious

autoeciously

facetiousness

facetiousnesses

garnetiferous

sacrilegious

sacrilegiously

sacrilegiousness

sacrilegiousnesses

ultraserious
