You can safely ignore Orders -- they are not fully implemented.

Quoting Phil Longstaff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

> I've just completed a basic test.  I created a basic XML file with 
> some standard accounts, and then added a transaction, a budget, a 
> price, a customer, ... till I had 1 of each type of object (except an 
> order - how do I create one?).  My test is then:

> 1) start gc with the XML file, save-as to a DBI sqlite3 db, then quit
> 2) start gc with the sqlite3 db, save-as to an XML file, then quit
> 3) compare the two XML files.

> The only differences are:
> 1) Sometimes, some slots are in different orders
> 2) There is one more account in the scheduled transaction section.  
> Where the original XML file had a ROOT account A, the XML file saved 
> in step 2 had a ROOT account B, then A was a child of B.  I noticed 
> that the XML backend never sets the book's template root account, so 
> I think what happens is that a template root is created (became B) 
> which was never part of the original XML file.
