How do the Orthodox sequence the 10 commandments? Is it the same way as the Catholics and Lutherans do?

There's a wikipedia page that explains it all pretty well.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments#Tra...
The Orthodox use the numbering from the tradition of the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures from 1-2 centuries B.C. (that is, not a "Christian" translation). It's closest to the Reformed version (used by Calvin, but not counting "I am the Lord thy God.." as part of the 1st commandment.
Catholics and Lutherans don't number them the same as the Orthodox or Calvinists, nor quite the same as each other, quite.
Again, the commandments -- about 14-15 of them -- did not come with numbers.any numbering is an *interpretation*.
Forgive me.

A person can know with certainty Catholicism is the One True Faith by reciting daily and with care the holy rosary.

In the fourth century, Satan through the beast power (i.e. the Roman Catholic Church) changed one of the Ten Commandments of God; a fact unbeknown to most Christians. With the Second Coming of Christ drawing ever nearer, the enemy has now also in recent times convinced many sincere People that all the Ten Commandments have been abolished and that God and His Son Jesus are responsible for its being “Nailed” to the Cross. Others say that the Ten Commandment Law of God is still in force with the exception of the one that Satan changed many centuries ago.
The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV)
1 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
3 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
6 “You shall not murder.
7 “You shall not commit adultery.
8 “You shall not steal.
9 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.”
