"Ordnung" zählt zu Saless’ wütendsten, intensivsten Filmen - gewidmet ist er Herbert Achternbusch. Im Mittelpunkt des Geschehens steht Herbert Sladkowsky, ein arbeitsloser Ingenieur, der aus der Gesellschaft zu fallen droht: Ein Leben ohne Ordnung, die auch seine Frau immer wieder einfordert. Parallelen zu Saless' eigenem Lebenswandel sind dabei nicht zu übersehen.
Herbert (Heinz Lieven) is a solid, middle-class engineer who one day quits his job and ensconces himself at home (preferably in the bathroom), refusing to say very much to anyone. His wife (Dorothea Moritz ) is all the more upset at his behavior because on Sunday mornings he goes out into the street and yells at the top of his lungs for everyone to "get up." Eventually, the hard-working wife who is also earning their support convinces Herbert to go to a clinic for treatment. But is it a clinic he needs? Or is Herbert rebelling against a society that is too ordered, too sterile, too buried in the monotony of routine?
