just so
In this way
Just so describes something arranged with meticulous precision—every detail exactly right: She liked the pillows placed just so.
The phrase can also mean "exactly" in agreement: It was just so.
Rudyard Kipling's *Just So Stories* play on both senses—tales explaining how things came to be precisely as they are.
