a few things you might try:
fiddle with random_page_cost
make sure effective_cache_size is set to a realistic value
increase statistics target on critical columns, like 
  ORDER.ORDER_DATE and join columns
 (and re-analyze)

possibly get change the cast in your where clause:
  ORDER.ORDER_DATE::date between '2007-03-01' and '2007-03-27'
to
  ORDER.ORDER_DATE between '2007-03-01'::timestamp 
                   and '2007-03-27'::timestamp
