1) You have quoted only one definition of "disordered".

2) You quoted a second, not first, definition.

I will not attempt to speculate as to why you have chosen to do these things, as I am not a mind reader. I will simply quote the definitions you chose NOT to quote, from your own source:

1) lacking organization or in confusion; disarranged.

2) suffering from or afflicted with a physical or mental disorder : a disordered liver.

Also:

nounbr> 1. a lack of order; disarray; confusion
2. a disturbance of public order or peace
3. an upset of health; ailment

Also

n. A disturbance or derangement that affects the function of mind or body, such as an eating disorder or the abuse of a drug. v. dis·or·dered , dis·or·der·ing , dis·or·ders To disturb the normal physical or mental health of; derange.

Also:

noun 1. lack of order or regular arrangement; confusion: Your room is in utter disorder.
2. an irregularity: a disorder in legal proceedings.
3. breach of order; disorderly conduct; public disturbance.
4. a disturbance in physical or mental health or functions; malady or dysfunction: a mild stomach disorder.

verb (used with object)
5. to destroy the order or regular arrangement of; disarrange.
6. to derange the physical or mental health or functions of.

I offer these additional definitions in the hope that folks will find them useful and informative.
