When script shown above is created it will show the order prior to being sorted and getting a random value for its order ranking property.  After the orders have been assigned a random sort value, all the orders are sorted in ascending numerical order.  After the sorting the orders are shown again.  All reporting output will be found in the Print Output.csv file in the Trading Blox/Results folder.

Always check to be sure the order is available after a Broker function call using the system.orderExists() function prior to accessing it.

Using the alternateOrder object when orders are not in context will provide the same access as the Order object.  However, the alternateOrder object must be brought into context using the system.SetAlternateOrder object function prior to any attempt to use is properties and functions.

Once orders are brought into context their properties and function are available to reference and changes.
