排列

• 拼音: pái liè

含义

To arrange; to line up; to put in order. Describes the act of organising items or people in a specific sequence or pattern.

Used for placing things in a deliberate order — alphabetically, numerically, by size, etc. Common in both everyday and technical contexts: 按顺序排列 (arrange in order), 排列组合 (permutation and combination, in mathematics). Differs from 排队 (queue up), which focuses on people standing in line.
