arraying
Putting in order
Arraying is the act of arranging things in a particular order or formation, often for display or strategic purpose.
Troops may be arrayed for battle, evidence arrayed before a jury, or merchandise arrayed on shelves.
The word also applies to dressing or adorning, especially in fine or elaborate clothing: The bride was arrayed in silk and lace.
In computing, arraying refers to organizing data elements into an array structure.
