Just because he's been 'ordered' to doesn't mean he wants to, and has probably not changed his stance about an extension.
Asking for an extension will gain him nothing - exactly the same as Corbyn if he accepted the election he kept shouting for.

Anyone who actually thinks Boris wants an extension is either incredibly stupid or a troll

I don't believe anyone here to be incredibly stupid
Of course he doesn't want to - no money in that for his pals/donors.

Similarly if he wanted a deal, which nobody believes but the exceptionally stupid, he'd go for an election promising to leave and use his new found majority to tell the EU that he's serious, give us a good deal or we go.

That's what someone acting in the best interests of the country would do.
