ordenado/organizado
Will someone please compare "ordenado" and "organizado?"
When I look them up using the dictionary, I see that they are a bit different, but I just went through some flashcards (1.2 - Las descripciones personales) and it makes me think they are the same.
Are they just different words that mean kind of the same thing?

Just as in English "ordered" and "organized" can refer to similar actions, but they can also refer to disparate actions depending on context.
If you look at ordenar and organizar in the dictionary you can see that some of their contexts have nothing to do with one another. (referring ot receiving orders or having to do with organs.) You will also see that ordenar is used in some of the definitions of organizar (synonyms). It all depends on context.
