Shouldn’t that read "9:25 AM”, with a colon instead of a dash? If that’s the case, fix your data before feeding it to your orders table.

If not, what is “9-25 AM" supposed to mean? A timezone offset (which is what +/- means in a time) of more than +/-12 hours makes no sense on this planet. Neither does a time-range, especially not with the AM addition.
