Streszczenie
We show that the Sharkovski{ĭ} ordering of periods of a continuous real function is also valid for every function with connected $G_\delta $ graph. In particular, it is valid for every ${\rm DB}_1$ function and therefore for every derivative. As a tool we apply an Itinerary Lemma for functions with connected $G_\delta $ graph.
