in order to

Phrase

 * 1) As a means of achieving the specified end; to.
 * She stood in order to see over the crowd. / She stood to see over the crowd.

Usage notes

 * The words "in order" in this context are usually redundant, and can be removed to leave just "to" as an expression of purpose. On the other hand, the full expression is usually required in the negative ("in order not to", but note also the informal "to not") and occasionally to avoid ambiguity.
