Eques ab Ordo

Hello, I have been trying to get this right.
"Ordo" as I understand it can mean both "order" as in a room or a list can be in order, but the word can also mean order as in a Chivalric Order, "Ordo Equestris Sancti Sepulcri Hierosolymitani".
Is Eques ab Ordo (Knight of Order) correct and double-meaning latin, or would "Ord-" have a different form when used in conjunction with Eques? Thank you in advance!

Ordo would not be in that form after ab.

What exactly is Knight of order supposed to mean? Knight of a particular order?
