Usage Note
Désordre can describe a physically untidy space or a broader state of social or political turmoil. The opposite is ordre, and the adjective désordonné means 'untidy' or 'disorganized'. In medical contexts, a 'trouble' is more common than désordre, though both appear in psychiatric language.
Examples
