For a fixed natural number \(m\), an integer \(t\) is said to possess weak order \(\pmod m\) if there exists a natural number \(n\) satisfying \(t^{n+1}\equiv t\pmod m\); and \(t\) is said to be order-free \(\pmod m\) otherwise. Let \(g(m)\) be the number of congruent integers possessing weak order \(\pmod m\). In this paper, the author proves that \[ \sum_{m\leq x}g(m)=\alpha x^2+O(x\log x), \] where \(\alpha\) is a constant, which improves the results of \textit{V. S. Joshi} [Lect. Notes Math. 938, 93-100 (1982; Zbl 0484.10002)] and \textit{Z. Yang} [J. China Univ. Sci. Technol. 16, 116-118 (1986; Zbl 0616.10036)].
