Orbital and magnetic ordering in La{sub 0.5}Sr{sub 1.5}MnO{sub 4} have been studied with resonant soft x-ray scattering at the Mn L{sub 2,3} edges and for the first time azimuthal angle scans and polarization analysis are presented. The azimuthal angle dependencies are well described by the occurrence of a quadrupole (orbital) ordering below T{sub OO} and an additional dipole (magnetic) contribution below T{sub N}. There are no indications that there is an enhanced Jahn-Teller distortion at T{sub N} as reported in a previous study. Subsequently, it is shown that there is simultaneous ferro- and antiferromagnetic ordering along the c-direction.
