organising
Getting things sorted
Organising is the British spelling of organizing—arranging things into a coherent structure or coordinating people toward a common purpose.
You might spend a weekend organising your closet, or organising a protest.
The word covers both physical arrangement organising files into folders and social coordination organising workers into a union.
