Specific starting point order number format

First off I would like to say thank you for all the great support and a fantastic product. I have been a linux user for years and really don't think I have ever paid for a piece of software. I purchased the essential version today without looking back. The support of the product is really what made it a no brainer. If anyone sees this please support this awesome company because they have earned it in my opinion.

I would like to set up my order number format to start with a specific number to match my accounting system. I searched around a bit and saw how to change to the code to {id size="5"}, which is the size of the format I want. But can I start it with 20130 and continue from there?

For that, you should increment the order_id in the hikashop_order table like this:

The best way to have your comment seen by others interested in HikaShop is to post it on the joomla extensions directory:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/e-commerce/shopping-cart/14275

ok sorry I am in phpmyadmin, I see this when I edit

SELECT * FROM `jos_hikashop_order`

do I add

ALTER TABLE jos_hikashop_order AUTO_INCREMENT = 10000;

or just change the SELECT * FROM `jos_hikashop_order` to SELECT * FROM `jos_hikashop_order AUTO_INCREMENT = 10000`

You need to go in the SQL tab and paste the query below there and click on OK.
ALTER TABLE jos_hikashop_order AUTO_INCREMENT = 10000;

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ALTER TABLE jos_hikashop_order AUTO_INCREMENT = 10000 LIMIT 0, 30' at line 2

I got this error, and I also want to double check that "10000" should be "20130" for my instance, right?

Indeed. There should not be any LIMIT 0,30 in that query. Please use the query I posted previously.
