How can I identify an order created via the 'back office'?

Site administration users can create 'back office' orders via /admin -> Store -> Orders -> Create an order.

How can I differentiate orders created this way from orders created by general public users going through the site and placing orders?

Any tips?

Thanks.

For anyone else who is interested in this.

I couldn't find any order characteristics that showed how the order had been created. My solution involved modifying one of my custom modules to add another submit handler to the /admin -> Store -> Orders -> 'Create an order' form via hook_form_alter(). The submit handler takes care of recording manually created order ids in a database table.
