Meaning of orderliness
Orderliness can be described as a condition where things follow laid down procedures. It is also the act of behaving in a decent manner in conformity to standard, of morality, good taste, and devoid of immodesty. It is doing the right thing at the right place at the right time.
Law and orderliness simply mean; a rule of conduct or procedure established by custom, agreement or authority. It is the body of rules and principles governing the affair of a community and enforced by a political authority.
It is also the condition of social order and justice created by compliance to such a system, a piece of enacted legislation; a code of principles based on morality, conscience or nature; and also, a principle of organization, procedure or technique.
Law and order is maintained in an environment free from disturbances, dis-quietness and disorganization and firm and decisive action is taken against theft, violence and disturbance of public peace with swift enforcement of sanctions or penalties.
Doing things orderly would mean allowing things to take their normal course, terms and follow prescribed procedures. It could mean allowing things to be in the best way they fit in or arranging things following their ascending or descending values such that they are neatly and carefully organized or arranged.
