This was a long time ago, may have even been in FoxPro DOS. There was no colorizing of reserved words at the time. Of course we were aware that ORDER was a reserved word but it seemed like such a natural name it took us until testing to notice it. Sounds dumb but there you have it. I don't remember the exact errors, sorry. IIRC they happened in the parser, with ORDER used as a name reference and mistaken for an optional keyword.
