Order Updates Question

[Rud Merriam]

I don't understand how the order processing is intended to work. An order is sent and sometimes another order with 'update' added is sent. Is that intended to replace the first order entirely? That's just one case. There appear to be a few different types of subsequent orders. Can you enumerate each of them and explain how they are to be processed?

Correct, the updated order replaces the old one.

The second case is a high priority order. If the order name does not contain update, then it is a new order that is higher priority than the first. Completing higher priority orders will give a lot more points than lower priority ones, but both should be completed (if possible).
