Why is the WoOCommerce order number not arranged in order?
The lost order sequence is not necessarily a lost order or an order that has not been recorded in your system. This is because WordPress records orders in the database.
WordPress identifies each element (such as posts, pages, attributes, categories, labels, etc.) as posts and assign them a post ID. Elements (such as products, orders, etc.) related to WOOCOMMERCE are also regarded as type types and given the only post ID.
In the case of order number, the order ID is the same as its post ID.
WordPress allocates ID in order when creating these elements. Therefore, if you create a blog post between two orders, add products or create a new page to the store, the order will not have a continuous number.

Assuming you have two orders A and order B. The order ID of order 1 is 1000. After receiving the order A, you create a blog post on the website. In this case, the post ID will be allocated to order A, then a blog post, and then order B. Therefore, the post A’s post ID is 1000, the post ID of the blog is 1002, and the release ID 1003 of the order B. As a result, the order number is destroyed.
This is why not all orders have order orders in Woocommerce. This brings a problem, especially in terms of bookkeeping and inventory management, especially when you have a lot of orders.
