Isn't much easier to see in the root *o:rdh- 'order, row' just a
variant of PIE *k'erdho-/k'erdha:- 'row, troop, line'. We have an
example in *kost- 'leg, bone' and *ost(h)- 'id.'.

Abdullah,
 
PIE simply does not operate that way phonologically.
 
*ost(h)- probably is a reduction of **(V)ks't(h)V-.
