My understanding is that systems can and do move from disorder to
order but ALWAYS with an overall increase in entropy.
When you take water (disorder) and turn it into ice (order)
you are ultimately increasing entropy. In this case in the form of the
heat energy (disorder) escaping from the back of your freezer.
