    Hi there!
    Just one thing. In this context, I would´t translate "order" as "ordenar". The right translation for me would be "¡pídelo ya!".
    Hope it helps

    Here we would not say
    ! Ordénelo ya!
    either. We would go for:
    "¡pídelo ya!".
    But I am sure there are countries in which Order as in Orden is used.
    Ordenar here is more used in the Army, or when giving orders in general, a command!
    An example of when we would use Order/Orden here would be at the restaurant. May I take your oder? Puedo tomarles la orden? But still, it is a lot more common "el pedido".
    Realmente, el destino del mundo depende, en primer lugar, de los estadistas y, en segundo lugar, de los intérpretes.

    From what I see on the infomercials on TV, either one works.
    I've seen some say "pidalo ya" and I've seen some say "ordenelo ya".
    So there, I don't know left from right!
    But that's just me
