order's

Belonging to arrangement

Order's is the possessive form of order.

It attributes something to a particular order—whether a command, an arrangement, a religious organization, or a purchase: The order's instructions were clear, the order's total came to fifty dollars, the order's members gathered for prayer.

In most contexts, rephrasing avoids the awkward apostrophe: the instructions in the order or members of the order.
