Ex-parte means one party.
There are some motions that are filed that the court can rule on without needing to hear from both sides, and without significant notice in advance of the hearing However, court rules generally require at least 24 hours notice to the opposing side, if they want to oppose the motion.
I've never seen an "order to appear" that is ex-parte, unless the court is ordering only one party to appear, for purposes of issuing sanctions or something else where the opposing party need not be present.

Ex-parte merely means that it was issued by a court without all necessary parties being present. Sometimes, they are referred to as bench warrants in the criminal context. The appearance part is nothing more than an order to appear in court (a summons).

It usually means a judge has made an order without another party to the case being there.
