He more than likely did order a census. In republican Rome a census was taken every five years, or at least it was supposed to be taken.

If you are referring to the census mentioned in the New Testament, that was not ordered by Augustus himself, but by the governor of Syria, who had imperium, on behalf of the Jewish priests. An official with imperium acted in the name of the emperor--his orders were the same as being issued by the emperor himself.
