Phrase | in order |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "in order" means correct and organized as needed: "Please make sure you have all your documents in order before you show up for your appointment." The word "order" refers to how things are arranged, or which one is placed first: "Please put these books in alphabetical order." Or, "The files are in order by date." The phrase "out of order" is used to talk about something that isn't working correctly: "How long has this machine been out of order?" The phrase "on order" is used to talk about something that one has requested to buy, but that hasn't arrived at the store yet: "The store had run out of the printers I wanted, so the salesperson put one on order for me." |
