  - Shipped/ Delivered: Green
  - Cancelled: Red
• Prioritized Orders:
  Highlight rows where Priority Level = "High" with bold text and dark red background.

  If Actual Delivery Date > Expected Delivery Date, apply red border and bold font.
• Total Value Thresholds:
  Highlight orders over $10,000 in gold fill for visibility of large-value transactions.
