Theory of Sets, chapter III, § 1. Order relations. Ordered sets

Let (xλμ)(λ, μ)∈L×M(x_{\lambda\mu})_{(\lambda,\ \mu) \in L \times M} be a "double" family of elements of an ordered set E\mathrm{E} such that for each μ∈M\mu \in \mathrm{M} the family (xλμ)λ∈L(x_{\lambda\mu})_{\lambda \in L} has a least upper bound in E\mathrm{E}. For the family (xλμ)(λ, μ)∈L×M(x_{\lambda\mu})_{(\lambda,\ \mu) \in L \times M} to have a least upper bound in E\mathrm{E}, it is necessary and sufficient that the family (sup⁡λ∈Lxλμ)μ∈M\left( \sup\limits_{\lambda \in L} x_{\lambda\mu} \right)_{\mu \in M} should have a least upper bound in E, and then we have

(2)sup⁡(λ, μ)∈L×Mxλμ=sup⁡μ∈M(sup⁡λ∈Lxλμ).(2) \qquad \sup_{(\lambda,\,\mu)\in L\times M} x_{\lambda\mu} = \sup_{\mu\in M}\left(\sup_{\lambda\in L} x_{\lambda\mu}\right).

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
