neatness
Everything in place
Neatness is the quality of being orderly, tidy, or well-arranged.
A room shows neatness when everything is in its place.
The word extends to precision and skill: the neatness of her handwriting, the neatness of his solution to the problem.
Neatness can also describe personal appearance—clean, well-groomed, carefully put together.
