Question

ESLPod_0288_WE_0251 A Business Contract In this podcast, the phrase "in order" means all right or okay, without any problems: "If the contract is in order, please sign your name on this line." The phrase "in order" can also mean logically organized: "Please put these cards in order alphabetically by the customer's last name." Or, "These files need to be put in order by date." The phrase "in order to do (something)" is a formal way to say "to do (something)": "They had to buy a bigger car in order to have enough seats for their growing family." If something is "out of order," it is not organized logically and neatly: "How did these papers get out of order?" Another meaning of "out of order" is not working correctly: "The public phone is out of order, but you can use the one in my office."
