<abstract><p>In this paper, we introduce the concept of $ j $-hyperfilters, for all positive integers $ 1\leq j \leq n $ and $ n \geq 2 $, on (ordered) $ n $-ary semihypergroups and establish the relationships between $ j $-hyperfilters and completely prime $ j $-hyperideals of (ordered) $ n $-ary semihypergroups. Moreover, we investigate the properties of the relation $ \mathcal{N} $, which is generated by the same principal hyperfilters, on (ordered) $ n $-ary semihypergroups. As we have known from ^{[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b21">21</xref>]} that the relation $ \mathcal{N} $ is the least semilattice congruence on semihypergroups, we illustrate by counterexample that the similar result is not necessarily true on $ n $-ary semihypergroups where $ n\geq 3 $. However, we provide a sufficient condition that makes the previous conclusion true on $ n $-ary semihypergroups and ordered $ n $-ary semihypergroups where $ n\geq 3 $. Finally, we study the decomposition of prime hyperideals and completely prime hyperideals by means of their $ \mathcal{N} $-classes. As an application of the results, a related problem posed by Tang and Davvaz in ^{[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b31">31</xref>]} is solved.</p></abstract>
