I believe it means "Он был награждён орденом".

What does this sentence mean?

awarded order -> awarded an order [?]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_(distinction)

I don't understand this

@AlanF_US
Could you have a look at this?

I changed it to "He was awarded an order". This could mean at least two different things:
(1) He was granted a token (such as a badge) that indicated membership in a relatively small number of people who have been singled out for special recognition. I personally would use the wording "He was made a member of an honorary order", but I see instances where people use "awarded an order" in this way.
(2) He received a purchase order or work order, especially in a competitive process that selected between different vendors.

Thanks for your explanation.
