  There are basically three methods of clonning:-

  1. Server Side

  You can use workflow, plugin or workflow assembly. Workflows don't require coding where as plugin and workflow assembly will require coding:-

  2. Client Side

  You can use javascript to create clone using oData or REST

  3. Create a self relationship of order and map all fields to child order. Publish customization. When you will create a child record it will clone the parent record however child records will not be cloned.

  Are you trying a copy a record, or create a new custom entity that behaves like the order entity ?

  If you are trying to copy a record, then the previous post gives some options. If you want a custom entity that behaves like the order entity, then you can't get the full functionality, as some functionality is hard-coded into the order entity

  You can't copy any of the order entity functionality. You will have to create a new custom entity, and add fields and functionality yourself
