So, eg, all objects are are lined up on a table. There's a specific word for this that I can't remember?
Best answer: Are you referring to knolling?

Best answer: Knolling, but the use is pretty colloquial.

"Squared away" is how I call it. Sometimes "squared".
I use it in the general sense too, but that specifically is how I'd refer to arranging things at right angles on an office desk or dining room table for example. "I'll go square away the table while you finish making the soup".
