I know what the word means, but I’m unsure how to use it in a sentence. In my native language, Danish,“backorder” translates to “Restordre” and when something is unavailable, we say it’s"i Restordre",which translates directly into English as “in backorder”, but I’m not sure that’s correct English. Do English people say that or just “backordered” or something else?

    I went to buy that part for the dryer at the appliance parts store. The clerk told me they don’t have it and when he went to order it from his supplier they told him it’s on backorder but hope next months shipment will have them.

    I already paid for it and the supplier will send it to the appliance store when the back ordered part is available.
