Here's the order of rotational symmetry for each shape:

i) Square
A square can be rotated by 90∘90^\circ, 180∘180^\circ, and 270∘270^\circ and still look the same as its original position. Including the 360∘360^\circ rotation (which brings it back to the exact starting point), there are 4 such positions.
The order of rotational symmetry for a square is 4\boxed{4}.

ii) Equilateral triangle
An equilateral triangle can be rotated by 120∘120^\circ and 240∘240^\circ and still look the same as its original position. Including the 360∘360^\circ rotation, there are 3 such positions.
The order of rotational symmetry for an equilateral triangle is 3\boxed{3}.
