Omnivore is a secondary (2nd order) consumer. This is because primary consumer must only be plant eaters. Although omnivore consume plants, they also eat meat.
Here is the order of the food chain (hope it helps):
1) SUN (ultimate source of energy)
2) PRODUCERS (plants - autotrophs: can make their own food using photosynthesis)
3) PRIMARY/1ST ORDER CONSUMER (herbivours - only eat plants)
4) SECONDARY/2ND ORDER CONSUMER(carnivours/omnivores)
5) DECOMPOSERS (bacteria, worms, fungi etc breaks down dead organisms as food and return nutrients to soil)
