lines up

Arranges in order

Lines up means to arrange in a row or sequence, or to take one's place in such an arrangement: The children lined up for lunch.

It extends to organizing or securing things in advance: She's lining up investors for the project.

When things line up, they align or correspond properly: The holes don't line up.

If something lines up with expectations or evidence, it matches or agrees.
