I want it that way
I'm a bit confused, it the above sentence, the one you would like help with?
If so, imagine walking in to a shop, the shop is where people make wedding cakes.
The person who is going to design and then create your cake, has 2 designs for you to see, and to decide which one you like the most (and then have made for you).
They might say do you want the cake to be tall, or short??
And you might point to a photograph of a tall cake and say, "I want it that way".
"This way? Or that way?"
It's a choice, and then it's your decision, "I want it that way".
But to be polite you can say, "I'd like it that way, please."
It depends on the context, situation and the person you're speaking to.

If you see someone ordering a hamburger from burger king with ketchup, pickles, and onion rings on it and you go up to the cashier, you would say I want it that way. "That way" is the way the hamburger is prepared, with onion rings, ketchup, and pickles.
Hope this helps.
