hierarchized
Put in order
Hierarchized means arranged into a hierarchy—organized by rank, status, or levels of importance.
The term typically describes systems, structures, or relationships where elements are ordered from highest to lowest: a rigidly hierarchized society, hierarchized categories of knowledge.
It often carries a critical tone, suggesting imposed or artificial ordering.
