You might want a structure containing an array of structures. The outer
structure would be useful for any information that you need that is order
specific (as opposed to item specific). That structure then contains an
array of items in the cart, and each item is represented by a structure
(containing product number, description, price, quantity, etc).

Use an array because they are dynamic with cold fusion.
For example if you set row 1 through ten with information
and then delete row 8, row 9 becomes row 8 and row 10 becomes row 9
