in order for

English

Phrase

in order for

To indicate a possible consequence of an event or action.

Usage notes

The words "in order" in this context are usually redundant, and can be removed to leave just "for" as an expression of consequence. This is distinct from "in order to" as that phrase implies a design or purpose.
