How it's used
The character 侖 is rarely used on its own in modern Cantonese to mean arrange. It primarily functions as a component in words like 條理 or 來龍去脈 to convey the concept of order, sequence, or coherence. When describing someone who is logical or organized, Cantonese speakers almost exclusively use the compound 條理.

Common mistake
Do not attempt to use 侖 as a standalone verb for arranging things, as it will not be understood. Always use the full compound 條理 when discussing logical order or coherence.
