This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I would like to automatically increment a custom field value when I create a new post in my custom post type. The field value should be the highest field value from the other posts, plus one.
Solution:
You can use standard wordpress hook "save_post" to build such solution and add that hook to your current theme's functions.php file.
You can find proposed solution, in this case, with the following reply:

Minesh,
It is supposed to increment the ordernummer when you make a new order. And now it does not, there is no ordernummer.
The problem: I had it working that it would give an order number to a new order. Every new order would get an ordernummer one higher then the last one. That was what I wanted. What I did not want was that when I edited an order it would also raise the ordernummer.
Now I do not get an ordernummer with new orders anymore. The system is not at all working anymore. Go to the view (see screenshot) and see that there is no new order numbers.
