Question about Japanese
What does 首をかしげるようにうなずいて「うんじゃあ」と言った
Does the word ように mean "in order to" in this context? Like,
"In order to tilt his head, he said "n, jaa" with a nod." Or just
"He tilt his head and said n jaa with a nod."
But what does "ように" function as?
Thank you in advance!🌻 mean?

This ように means "like" "similar to" "as if" - so this use of ように creates a simile.
花のようにきれい as beautiful as flower / beauty like a flower
火のように怒る as furious as fire
首をかしげるようにうなずく to nod as though she was tilting her head

ように and ために; for the sake of, in order to
ように and みたいに; to be like, similar to
Is this correct?

Yep, that distinction is about right. You'll learn to differentiate which meaning it is used in based on the context as you improve your Japanese.
