Wortstellung and Satzstellung are generally the standard terms for "word order" in German grammars. Wortordnung is an old, now rarely occurring term in the same meaning. "Stellung" means the positioning or 'putting' of words. "Ordnung" means 'to bring into (an) order'.

Yes – die Wortstellung is now the standard term for "word order" in German. You may also come across e.g. die Stellung der Satzteile / Satzteilstellung (positioning of sentence parts or constituents) in some specific context...

PS: Always capitalize the nouns – this is not optional in German.
