How it's used
Refers almost exclusively to technical settings or hardware specifications in modern Hong Kong. While it can technically mean to arrange or allocate, using it for general organization of physical objects sounds overly formal or stiff. Most people prefer using 設定 for software settings or 規格 for hardware specs.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to mean arranging furniture or people, as it sounds like you are treating them as computer components. Use 擺位 or 安排 instead for those contexts.
