I've come to see you in order that you may be sure everything is all right.

You must take measures in order that such mistakes may never be made again.

He got up at six (o'clock) (in order) to be there in time

Thanks for your efforts.

in order that =so that, to the end or purpose that :up:

He spoke loud (so) that all of them might hear his words. 'So' is essential in modern English; 'that' is not - in speech at least.

The others are fine (apart from thee for there in the last one).
