Hi hlbert03
.
I used "go through" in the sense of "
to come to a desired or satisfactory conclusion". In other words, if an order
goes through, it has been successfully placed.

.
So, If you tried to order something and for some unknown reason no one received your order or no one has a record of your order, then you could say that the order "
didn't go through". You might also say that the order "
wasn't received".
.
Saying "
push an order through" indicates to me that there is some difficulty while placing/making the order and you have to do something extra in order to make sure that the order is successfully placed. In other words, you have to apply extra effort to place the order at all. And after the extra effort of
pushing it through, you wouldn't need to place the order again.
.
I personally would
not say that an "order pushes itself through" (which is basically what your sentence implied.)

Where did you get "
push through" from? Is there some special reason you want to use this particular phrasal verb? I have heard "push through" used in companies, but only the way I described above.
