unordered

Not arranged in a particular sequence or organized according to a specific system. / Lacking a logical or systematic arrangement of ideas or structure. / In computing, referring to a list or collection of elements where the position of each item is not determined by a specific sorting criterion or index.
Adjective

This term describes a state of randomness or a lack of systematic arrangement. It carries a neutral to slightly negative connotation depending on the context; in a physical space, it suggests clutter or negligence, whereas in a cognitive context, it implies a lack of coherence or mental clarity.

In technical environments, specifically web development and computer science, the word loses its negative connotation. Here, it refers to a specific structural choice where the sequence of items is irrelevant to the meaning, such as a bulleted list as opposed to a numbered one.
