Explanation
Order refers to how things are arranged, requested, or directed in a clear and controlled way. When items are in order, they are placed properly so they are easy to find or understand. Order also means a command or instruction given by someone who has authority, such as a teacher or officer. In daily life, order helps people avoid confusion, save time, and work smoothly. When you order food or products, you formally ask for something to be prepared or delivered to you.
