There is a very interesting line from the documentation, which I will try
to quote before Mike responds... :-)
From Interchange: Interchange Configuration 8.42. OrderCounter (page 67):
The name of the file (relative to catalog root if no leading /) that
maintains the order number counter. If not set, the order will be assigned
a string based on the time of the other and the user's session number.
OrderCounter etc/order.number
Bear in mind that Interchange provides the order number as a convenience
for display, and that no internal function depend on it. Custom order
number routines may be defined and used without fear of consequences.
