Who can be a Foreign Secretary?

I think the statement: Foreign Secretaries are experienced IFS officers, who are ambassadors to foreign nations. is not very correct. this might be a convention, but not a requirement. Also, " who are ambassadors to foreign nations." does not make any sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.177.70.107 (talk) 07:24, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Order number

Template:Infobox officeholder states:

The parameter order is used in conjunction with office to state that the officeholder is the nth holder of the office, for example "42nd President of the United States". This should only be used when there is a well established use of such numbering in reliable sources. Do not add numbers simply based on a Wikipedia list of holders of the office, because (1) the list may not be accurate and (2) even with a definite list, different numbering systems could be applied (as to how various categories of "irregular" officeholders should be counted, and as to the counting of those serving for multiple non-consecutive periods) making the numbers arbitrary; and even where such issues are not yet present, they are bound to be in the future, making this unsustainable.
