Ring-exchange (RE) interaction in Mott insulator with doubly degenerate $e_g$ orbitals is studied. Hamiltonian for the RE interaction is derived by the perturbational calculation. A remarkably weak RE interaction destroys the orbital order caused by the order-by-fluctuation mechanism in the nearest-neighbor exchange-interaction model. A long range order of magnetic octupole moment, i.e. complex orbital wave functions, appears. Competition between octupole and quadrupole interactions strongly suppresses ordered moments.
