Ah, ok. It's just that the phrase "All natural numbers are order numbers" is a bit strange since it implies that natural numbers are a subset of some mysterious 'order numbers'. What you've probably meant is that order numbers can be encoded with digits that can also be used to represent natural numbers. However, despite the superficial similarity, 'order numbers' ain't natural numbes.
