Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

ordonné => following a set order, usually for a list of things (similar to sorted)
rangé => clean and properly laid out, usually for a space (similar to cleaned)

they're not completely exclusive, and you can hear people using "ordonner" for spaces as well

[copper sandal]

yeah like "ranger le lit"

[buoyant wagon]

and what about propre? Is it used for object only?

[marble dove]

propre is clean as in the opposite of dirty
rangé is about the layout, propre is about the surface

if you want a room to be "rangé", you need to pick things up and move them, put them in their proper place
if you want a room to be "propre", you need to grab the vacuum cleaner and pick up a sponge
