Ordenat

Ordenat is a Catalan adjective and past participle derived from the verb ordenar, meaning to order, arrange, or organize. In Catalan, ordenat agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies: masculine singular is ordenat, feminine singular is ordenada, masculine plural is ordenats, and feminine plural is ordenades. The term is used to describe objects, lists, or data that have been arranged or sorted. Examples include una llista ordenada (an ordered list) and un document ordenat (an ordered document).

In grammar and syntax, ordenat can appear in passive or descriptive constructions, such as ha estat ordenat (has been ordered) or està ordenat (is ordered). The sense is closely linked to the notion of organization, structure, or sequence.

Etymology traces ordenat to the Latin ordinatus, the past participle of ordinare, through the Catalan verb ordenar. Cognate forms exist in other Romance languages, such as Spanish ordenado and French ordonné, which carry similar meanings.

In modern usage, ordenat is common in administrative, educational, and computing contexts to indicate that items have been arranged according to some rule or criterion. When encountered in non-Catalan texts, the form is usually a Catalan word and not a proper noun, as no widely recognized standalone entity named Ordenat is documented in major reference sources. In English translations, it is typically rendered as “ordered” or “sorted.”
