Magento - Determine if order was placed through admin

Question

I was wondering if there was anyway of determining whether an order was placed via the website or through the admin backend (by an admin user)?

And also (optionally) the logged in admin users name that placed the order?

Something like:

$orderId = 100000010;
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->loadByIncrementId($orderId);
$location = $order->getWhereTheOrderWasPlaced();
$userThatDidTheOrder = $order->getUserThatDidTheOrder();

I've done a get_class_methods() call on the order $object but nothing jumps out at me.

Thanks!

I've had a look, but I can't find anything either. Could the IP address of the order be used maybe? It might not be set when an admin placed an order. — Nick, Jan 27 '11 at 15:09

By default magenta only store the remote_ip in table sales_flat_order for order that is place by customer (and admin order is null).

So try

if(!empty($order->getRemoteIp()){
  //place online
}
else{
  // place by admin 
}
