I would like to move from Ninja Trader to Sierra Chart. After reading the documentation, I have to admit that the support from Sierra Chart is much better, and the learning curve of the ACSIL is deep.

Now the biggest question for me is how to implement the order callbacks in ACSIL. In ninjatrader, when the order changes status, I can hook up the call back function and update my strategy accordingly. I am wondering how to achieve this in Sierra Chart. Do I have to loop through the whole order list and figure out which one of them has just changed status?

As is documented on this page here:

https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACS_ArraysAndLooping.html#WhenFunctionCalled

The study function will be called when there is an order update.

What you need to do is save the Internal Order ID of the order that you are interested in getting an update for and then get that order using this function:
