When you hit the button to complete an online order, does it assign an order number that always has the same letter in front of it? Mine always have the small letter a. I was wondering if it is just by chance that it is that letter, since my first name starts with A.

I have never paid any attention.... I just print and save the page until I receive my order...then I delete them. I will be watching now, though :D:D:D

It might be a code that the shopping cart software is programmed to assign.

Ours start with "FF", for Favorite Fabrics.

Ours always started with an E the first letter of the store name . My guess is every shopping cart system has it own way of assigning an order confirmation
