Answer 1

This means "at your service" and it's said by store keepers, waiters, taxi drivers, etc.

I heard it a lot in Mexico when I said "Gracias" the person would respond with "A sus ordenes." (at your service).

Answer 2

the spanish term a sus ordenes means the same as at your service in a way or another

In my experience "a sus ordenes" has the meaning of "at your service" as others have conveyed. In Mexico and Central America it is also perfectly common to say, "a la orden" and has the same meaning. - pduncan, Jan 6, 2016

I might add its kinda a friendly way to respond to "Gracias" In eastern Guatemala where I lived about 3 years I think "a la orden" is as common as "de nada" in reply to "gracias" - pduncan, Jan 6, 2016

Answer 3

Literally, "at your orders." I assume it means something along the lines of "I await your commands." I would take Marianne's translation of "at your service" to be the best English translation of the phrase.

Answer 4

It basically means "Yes, sir/madam" (Depending on the situation). It is like you are willing to do everything one person ask you for.

Answer 5

to your (formal)/ his/ her/ their orders, perhaps
