What does it mean when “ORDER” is listed as origin or destination?

Please give an example. My first thought is that “ORDER” is a way point because it is 5 letters long.

Just what I thought. The aircraft is flying to a way point named ORDER - see [flightaware.com/live/flight/N787 … KTUS/ORDER](http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N787RR/history/20140120/1900Z/KTUS/ORDER)

After doing whatever it’s doing (more than likely flight test of an engine in this case) it picks up a flight plan that takes it back to TUS from ORDER - see [flightaware.com/live/flight/N787 … ORDER/KTUS](http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N787RR/history/20140120/2230Z/ORDER/KTUS)
