When a customer orders a product with an attribute (select-menu with options manager) and the selected attribute is disabled afterwards, the selected value isn't displayed in the order list in the backend (I can't test the frontend at the moment). Instead the ID of the attribute value is shown.
The attribute value is disabled, because the product variant isn't available at the moment, so this value cannot be selected for new orders. But existing orders should show up correct.
