Explanation:

• While transforming sentences in direct speech to reported speech, the speech is reported by someone else in their own words other than the speaker.
• Imperative sentences usually begin with a verb in the simple present tense that may express the hidden idea of a request, order, command, advice, suggestion, instruction, etc. while transforming, the word that expresses the idea of the sentence along with the infinitive form of a verb (-to + verb) is introduced as a clause. In the given sentence, ‘he ordered me to’ is the clause.
