Could you explain these Japanese words in English please?

Question:


They all seem to mean "order/sequence". If you could explain what they mean exactly, and in what contexts they are used, that would be much appreciated. Some example sentences too.

The words are:

連続
順序
席次
順番
整理
用意

ありがとうございます!

Answer:


連続ドラマ drama SERIAL, SEQUAL、連続放火 a SERIES of arson cases
順序よく並ぶ、順序立てる mostly for adverb use like "in (good) ORDER"
席次 SEATING ORDER used at school/goverment/formal party (formal wording)
順番を待つ、wait for (my) TURN, 順番に答える answer in TURN

整理されてる well-ORGANIZEd
用意周到だ thoroughly PREPAREd
