I brought all of them by the request of the officer vs I brought all of them by the order of the officer

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'I brought all of them by the request of the officer' implies that the officer asked for the items, while 'I brought all of them by the order of the officer' suggests a more authoritative command from the officer. The choice between 'request' and 'order' depends on the level of formality and authority involved.
