Hello everybody?

Can I say in English to arrange the files or it would be more appropriate to say to organise the files??

There is a difference in meaning between organise and arrange when they are applied to anything. Arrange could mean put them in a certain order for someone to look at. Organise suggests put them in a logical order or a sequence and in relation to files, probably organise would be more suitable.
