To find the total amount of cement ordered, we need to add the amount of cement ordered to fix the potholes and the amount of cement ordered to build the sidewalk.

Amount of cement ordered to fix potholes: 159.86 pounds
Amount of cement ordered to build sidewalk: 84.192 pounds

Total amount of cement ordered: 159.86 pounds + 84.192 pounds = 244.052 pounds

Therefore, he ordered 244.052 pounds of cement in total.
