"Order of the court" has the same definition regardless of the type or level of court: A formal demand from the judge(s) or justice(s) operating under the authority of their positions, that commands a person or entity to do something, or to refrain from doing something.
Ignoring or defying an order of the court is "contempt of court" and usually carries the penalty of a fine and/or imprisonment until the person agrees to act on the order.
