neat freak
Order-obsessed person
A neat freak is someone obsessively devoted to cleanliness and order—the person who alphabetizes spices, irons underwear, or can't relax until everything is in its place.
The term is mildly teasing rather than clinical: My roommate's a total neat freak.
The opposite is a slob.
