Are there different "orders" of the Amish as with the Mennonites?
There is a few different orders - even among the ultra con horse and buggy types. The group you speak of in in Seymour are Swartzentruber I am quite sure VERY CONSERVATIVE! They actually went to court over NOT allowing the triangle (slow moving viehicle sign) on the back of there buggies.
