How do I order my escorts to attack a specific target? I remember I have done this before but I forgot how to do it again.

Hit 'F'. This only works on fighters.

You can't get your escort-escorts to attack anyone specific. They just have their own battle plan and they go after whomever they want.
Like Blackdog said, though, you can order your fighter-escorts (that come out of your own fighter bay) to attack a specific target by selecting that target (tab) and then pressing 'F' (default)...

If its a fighter read the escort preferences. If its an escort hired or captured, or assigned then they'll attack anyone who fires at you, unlesss you tell them to hold position (v).
Actually, there is a way I found to make all the escorts take on a certain taget, I found it when I had 5 UE destroyer escorts, and I wanted them to take on a Crescent Warship. I was in a UE fighter, btw. I jumped in the system, and pressed V right away. Then, whatever taget i wanted them to attack, I would lure it to my fleet, which was huddled together. when the CW was right over them, i pressed 'C' and they all attacked it. I think they always take whatever ship fires on them, so the CW's phase was hitting the escorts the second I pressed 'c'. I know, its kind of confusing, but maybe it helps.

I didn't find it that confusing. But that's just me.
