A series of [cart]'s *will* sort in the order assigned, as long as you don't make the mistake of treating them as numbers: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/ref/SearchNumbers.html [cart] is composed of a monotonically increasing value plus a uniquifier (for times when multiple carts are assigned in the same second). It looks like a variable-length string which is composed exclusively of digits, and hence will always sort alphabetically in the order the carts were assigned. There is no reason to use anything except [cart] unless you really like reinventing the wheel (or like someone mentioned, like to parse out the date/time from the stored value).
