How it's used
Focuses on the visual order or systematic placement of objects rather than just the act of putting something down. It is often used in retail or exhibition contexts to describe how items are presented to the public. While it can function as a verb, it is frequently used in the passive sense to describe the state of an arrangement.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 擺, which is a generic verb for placing or putting something somewhere. 擺列 implies a deliberate, orderly, or aesthetic arrangement, whereas 擺 simply means to set an object down.
