Let A= { 1, 2, 3} then R= { (1, 1), (2, 2) , (3, 3) , (1, 2), (2, 3) } ,the relation R is reflexive and anti-symmetric,i get it, but how is it following the transitive property for it to become partial order relation of set A?,really need to clear this up,is it not needed that a partial relation follows the transitive property??

This is NOT transitive because even though (1,2) and (2,3) are in the relation but (1,3) is not in the relation. Hence this is NOT a partial order.
