The Wheeler-DeWitt equation of Friedmann models with a massless quantum field is formulated with arbitrary factor ordering of the Hamiltonian constraint operator. A scalar product of wave functions is constructed, giving rise to a probability interpretation and making comparison with the classical solution possible. In general the bahaviour of the wave function of the model depends on a critical energy of the matter field, which, in turn, depends on the chosen factor ordering. By certain choices of the ordering the critical energy can be pushed down to zero.

Exact path integrals on half-line in quantum cosmology with a fluid clock and aspects of operator ordering ambiguity
For minisuperspace dimension D>2 with a fluid clock, adding a specific curvature term makes physical predictions independent of a large class of operator orderings; in D=1 the ambiguity remains.
