organize
Put in order
When you organize something you put it in a recognizable order.
Both concrete and abstract things can be organized: Please organize the clothes you want to take with you on the camping trip. Who’s going to organize the reception for your wedding?
When someone organizes workers, or when workers organize, they either form or become members of a labor union.
When something is described as organized, it often means conducted by organization, as in organized crime or organized religion.
