In order to: In order to is a subordinating conjunction (从属连词). We use in order to with an infinitive form of a verb to express the purpose of something. It introduces a subordinate clause (从句). It is more common in writing than in speaking. As in Mrs Weaver had to work full-time in order to earn a living for herself and her family of five children.
