yes, they will not ask for it but will order for it

I am not a teacher.

If I understand you, "ask" is too general to set opposite to order, and the idiom is wrong. Perhaps you mean, "They will not request it, they will order it." (They have the authority to demand it rather than merely ask for it, and they will.)
 
yes, they will not ask for it but order for it.

yes, they will not ask for it but will order for it

yes, they will not ask for it but they will order for it.

yes, they will not ask for it but will order [STRIKE]for[/STRIKE] it

yes, they will not ask for it but they will order [STRIKE]for[/STRIKE] it.
