Hello Aksel. The problem related with how you handle courses. Portions should not be used for this purpose. You can use `Order State` feature for that. Think it like updating state of an order as `Mains`, `Entree` or `Dessert`. You can get basic information about Order states from this link [What does State mean?](http://forum.sambapos.com/t/what-does-state-mean/394).
