    Default What does "order" mean in this sentence?

    I know some meanings of "order" but I can't figure out its meaning in this sentence "The supplies are all in order", could you please help me understand it?
    Does it have the same meaning to which one in the following contexts:
    1. I have arranged the furnitures so now they are orderly.
    2. I have given you my orders.

    Thank you very much!

    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
