Sufficient conditions under which two random vectors are ordered in the sense of uniform conditional stochastic order with respect to planar regions are given. A natural classification of distributions based on this notion of stochastic order is defined and studied. A negative dependence property of Block et al. is shown to hold for this class of distributions. An application of these results in statistics is also presented.
