Why is it feminine?

Ordens is feminine because it derives from Latin "ordinem" (accusative of "ordo"), a third declension masculine noun. In Portuguese, many Latin third declension nouns ending in -em became feminine, particularly those where the nominative singular form ("ordo") ended in -o/-ão and developed feminine endings through sound changes. The -em ending in Portuguese often correlates with feminine nouns, reinforcing this gender assignment.
