If you use "order" like that, then it literally means the person in your family commanded that.

EncarguƩ una pizza. -> I ordered a pizza.

The more informal way to say it needs a far simpler verb:
My sister asked me to...
I was asked to...


And that is why it's very important to make clear the context and the meaning of the things we ask.
