We looked into this, and we cannot reproduce it.

We entered these three orders at this time on the TWS demo system:

Entry Time  Last Activity Time  Symbol  Status  Internal Order ID  Order Type  Buy/Sell  Service Order ID  Open/Close  Order Quantity  Price  Price 2  Filled Quantity  Average Fill Price  Parent Internal Order ID  Time in Force  Good Till DateTime  Trade Account  Link ID  OCO ID  LastOrderActionSource  Client Order ID  Exchange Order ID  Text Tag  TrailOrderOffset  TrailOrderStepAmount
2020-09-25 15:59:59.857  2020-09-25 15:59:59.857  AAPL  Open  12154  Limit  Buy  76  Open  400  112.23  0.00  0  0.00  0  Day    DU230106  0  0  IB order status update        0.00  0.00
2020-09-26 01:03:34.795  2020-09-26 01:05:10.618  ES-202012-GLOBEX  Pending Open  12153  Limit  Buy  75  Open  1  3228.75  0.00  0  0.00  0  Day    DU230106  0  0  IB order status update        0.00  0.00
2020-09-26 01:03:23.052  2020-09-26 01:05:10.618  ES-202012-GLOBEX  Pending Open  12152  Limit  Buy  74  Open  1  2993.75  0.00  0  0.00  0  Day    DU230106  0  0  IB order status update        0.00  0.00

We repeatedly reconnected to TWS, and both the Internal Order ID and Service Order ID remain completely stable.

In the TWS API settings there is the setting "Use negative numbers to bind automatic orders".

Try disabling that but we think that only applies to orders entered outside of Sierra Chart. Sierra Chart does use the function reqAutoOpenOrders when the TWS Client identifier is set to 0.
