You should use ContentProviderOperation. Since it's your ContentProvider you can assure that applyBatch() will execute all operations within a transaction. All standard content providers also ensure that that's the case.

See my blog post about ContentProviderOperation in general and my other post about how to use withBackReference() to access results of previous operations - which you need to access the orderId.

One important caveat: All ContentProviderOperations of one batch must use the same authority - but can use different URIs! In your case that should be no problem.
