Is there any way to add a prefix or suffix to orders from different POS locations to more easily recognize them when searching orders? Right now I’m only able to filter orders by point of sale, but not by each location. If I could add a 3 or 4-digit prefix or suffix depending on location, it would be much easier to filter.

Thanks in advance!
