Law and Order takes a different meaning when the thing about order is not about having a peaceful society, but an obedient society that keeps the status quo and the order of importance between the rich and poor.

Order in the English language began as a synonym for rank. Law and Order meant Law and Social Ranking. In set theory this is the same as the concept of ordinality.

The original Latin reflects the broader meaning of any pattern relationship, literally threads in a weave.
