WooCommerce

From the research that I have done it seems WooCommerce order numbers are tied to a system that saves the checkout state of a potential conversion.
I understand the necessity, but having it tied to the order number feels like a poor design choice.

A shop-owner/customer-facing order number is a business/accounting reference, these need to be standardized and sequential, just like in any other accounting software.

I understand the technical reasons for gaps in Order IDs, but the visible order number should have been stored as a separate sequential value from the beginning.
I have similar feelings about the timestamp on the order, but at least I was able to fix that with a simple hook.

Relying on plugins for something as basic as sequential order numbers does not feel right for an eCommerce platform.

Is there any plan to support native sequential order numbers in WooCommerce core, separate from internal order IDs?

Thank you!
