For humans to read/use because big integer numbers given by OrderIds are not easily understood by us. Internally all orders are integer orders, but most of the common ones (attack, smart, holdposition, ability cast strings, etc.) have a string counterpart. The ones that do not will return an empty string when you try to convert them. In the reply of mine I'm guessing you read, the order to build a scout tower is an integer order that has no string counterpart, so if you tried to print that order as a string it wouldn't show anything.

JASS can generally work with both orderstrings and orderids, but GUI really only lets you interface with orderstrings.
