We know i guess, the obvious, but WHY would they say that. WE are looking for some professional, experienced, answers. He is in the custody of one county, and this other county that is prosecuting has issued this, but he has been in and out of their courts, so why would they say this? thanks

All courts follow established procedures. They must have proper jurisdiction and have just cause to make an order. Once proper jurisdiction has been established and a just cause has been shown, then the court issues the order of appearance to insure that the ordered be dually served notice that they must appear before that court on that date and time.

The Court is seeking to establish jurisdiction over your family member and is ordering that he be brought before the Court. These kinds of orders are typical in cases where the person being charged is in the custody of another agency. I hope this helps. All this order does is make sure that the agency that has him in their custody brings him before the court that issued the order.
Edit: RangerEsq answer is a very good one. I think everyone should recommend it.

If he is in custody, the agency who has him locked up cannot legally let him go. An "order to produce" him is issued by the court where he has a civil court case, and it "orders" the agency who has him locked up to bring him to court - to "produce" him - WITHOUT releasing him. It's like the Judge says, "I know you can't let him go but I need him in my court, so you just put the handcuffs on him and bring him over here and when I'm done you can take him back and lock him up again."
If he has a criminal case pending in several counties, it's common to do it just to be sure he's available in the county when his case comes up. The Sheriff in the county of the court that wants him can go to the neighboring county with the "order to produce" and get him out of their jail, take him to court and then return him later.

Just a court order to produce that defendant at trail.
In custody or not.....jail-prison- does not matter.
Judge wants in court on such a date.

The Court can't operate without written mandate
