I believe the answer is:

apple pie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this order' is the definition.
(I have seen 'such order' mean 'apple pie' so perhaps 'order' could also mean 'apple pie')

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for apple pie that I've seen before include "fruit tart" , "tarte Tatin, for example" , "Fruit dessert (with order suggesting perfection?)" , "in a virtuous form?" , "(Characteristically American) sweet" .)
