Yes, I understand. Daphne described a solution in comment#6 that would have us
have an additional database field recording the first time the order was
closed. And use this for the purpose you describe.

I am not saying that your bug is not valid. I was only pointing out that most
changes in Koha happen as funded developments. Some support companies might
prioritize developments like this on demand of their customers or have hours
for it included in support contracts, but I cannot tell about that. So far this
bug is not assigned to anyone for development, so at the moment I don't see a
fix coming.
