Have you cancelled the order? Is the company aware that you have cancelled the cheque?

They will be told the cheque has been cancelled - if you have not informed them you may be in breach of contract.

The payee will pay the cheque into their account as normal and then a few days latter it will 'bounce' and they will have the cheque returned to them by their bank with the reason 'Payment Stopped' or 'Paymnt Coutermanded By order of Drawer'.
