Which Greek god was ordered to shape Pandora from earth?

Hephaestus was ordered to shape Pandora from earth in the Greek myth.

In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Zeus commands Hephaestus to make a woman from earth. Hephaestus is the divine smith and craftsman, so the task fits his role as the god who fashions objects, weapons, armor, and other creations for the gods.

After Hephaestus forms Pandora, other deities contribute qualities or gifts. Athena teaches her crafts, Hermes gives her a deceptive nature and speech, and Aphrodite gives her beauty in later summaries of the tradition. These details help explain why Pandora’s name means “all-gifted.”

Retellings sometimes credit Zeus himself with making Pandora because Zeus initiates the plan. The more specific answer is Hephaestus: Zeus orders the creation, while Hephaestus performs the shaping from earth.
