ptraj allows to calculate time-correlation functions C(t) of
internuclear vectors by the command "correlation". From these functions,
you can determine order parameters S^2 as the plateau values of C(t)
(i.e. where C(t) becomes constant) at a time t=t_p, provided that t_p is
considerably smaller than the overall rotation time. (I'm not an expert
in this, so others may have additional comments as well.)

Best regards
