This paper develops the theory of infinite partitions of Stone spaces indexed by a poset or PO system where the trim sets form a neighbourhood base for the topology. We study the interplay between order properties of the poset/PO system and topological properties of the partition, examine extensions and completions of such partitions, and derive necessary and sufficient conditions on the poset/PO system for the existence of the various types of partition studied. We also identify circumstances in which a second countable Stone space with a trim partition indexed by a given PO system is unique up to homeomorphism, subject to choices on the isolated point structure and boundedness of the partition elements.
