German term or phrase: Leistung an Ordre
"Unter Anderem wird festgehalten, dass die Leistung an Orde zu erbringen ist, weshalb es sich bei der vorliegenden Bill of Lading um ein Ordrepapier handelt."

Context: (Swiss-German) document describing the terms and conditions according to which a shipment of copper cathodes is to be delivered. I have found various definitions of an "Ordrepapier" (and am presuming "Orde" is a typo" above) but am still not sure what "Leistung an Ordre" means. "Performance to order" maybe?

Reference: bill of lading

Reference information:
I understand that "Ordrepapier" is order bill of lading, and "Leistung an Ordre" means delivery to order, at least according to this article, paragraph "Order Bill of Lading". I hope this will be of any help!
