 * We’re using Woocommerce and noticed that the order numbers were not sequential
   and had some missing. On Googling we can see that the order numbers are derived
   from IDs from the Posts table, however, there is also nothing in the posts table
   for the missing IDs. Is this anything to be concerned about? Being an Ecommerce
   site we’re always wary.

 * The post object is used for lots of things – pages, posts, products, order, order
   refunds, attachments/images and others. Have a look at the post_type field in
   the posts table.
 * If a post ID is missing in the posts table it means the relevant object has been
   deleted.
 * It could mean one of your admins has deleted an order, so ensure you trust everyone
   who has the admin role.
