Is it possible to customise the display template of specific types of orders. I guess in the same way that we can for specific types of `[PAYMENTS:PaymentType]` or `[ORDER TAGS:TagName]`.

My reason for needing this is a little long winded\*, but **let’s just say I wanted to split drinks from all other types of items I sell…**

```
-- Something special for drinks
[ORDERS:MenuItemTag=Drinks]
<J00>{QUANTITY} Litres of thirst quenching {NAME}|{PRICE}

-- Every other type of order
[ORDERS]
<J00>{QUANTITY} {NAME}|{PRICE}
```

You can…  
Group and state for sure you can - see void order template for example.

Yes - I saw you can for states. Is that the only way to do it? Do I need to add a state to the order when it’s added in to be able to achieve this?

Yeah just change the state when the order is added that should be easy. I think that’s the easiest way

You can do group code for products aswell and sure many others but I always use states for everything.  
Most of my custom product fields/tags are instantly converted to a state on order added.  
Course  
GL\_Account (PMS intergration)  
Package Price  
Special Offer group  
Kitchen print  
Bar print

Many many states, they are powerful and most feature/functions easily use them.

Pretty sure you can filter Order sections by Product Tag as well, even Custom Tags.

Look for ORDERS GROUP PRODUCT TAG
