 * Another thing: is it Ordo Ab Chao or Ordo Ad Chao ? Maybe they weren't changing anything at all?  Wyglif   SMS  12:53, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Grammatical error
Ordo ad chao is incorrect Latin grammar. The original ordo ab chao is correct because the preposition ab takes the ablative case, but ad takes the accusative case, so it should be ordo ad chaum. I'd point this out in the article but I don't have a source to back me up. Any first-year Latin student could tell you the same thing though. —Keenan Pepper 06:37, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

No! The Latin word "chaos" is neutrum, so the accusative is also "chaos". Correct is: ordo ad chaos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.205.152.25 (talk) 16:11, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it's neuter, and not a o-declesion noun but a mixed declension noun in Greek whence it was loaned into Latin, so hence -os and not the -on or -um, the stem is actually chao I think and not cha, we say 'chaotic' after all and not 'chaic'. Rajakhr (talk) 16:01, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Wrong or right, that's the way it is spelled on the album.

somebody doesn't know his latin... a and ab are the same word. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.47.172.248 (talk) 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

i was gonnah delete this part "" "Ordo ad chao" is incorrect Latin (correct: "ordo ab chao")[clarification needed][8] for "order to chaos" – a reversal of the Latin expression "ordo ab chao" ("order from chaos") often cited as the motto used in Freemasonry. ""

i moved it to a note because i don't know what it even is trying to say. the title, is the title in-and-of it-self and is therefore correct onto it self. if the supposed error is in the Latin it very much needs clarification. if "Ordo ad chao" is some sort of nonsense in Latin then it is still the actual real title. google translate happily tells me that "The order to the chaos" is the translation. witch is not nonsence. it is also not the direct inverse of the " motto used in Freemasonry". so unless there is some background reference to the intention of the title i would suggest the whole note be deleted. 50.49.112.235 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:27, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

'ORDO AB CHAO' - Masonic(7,74) definition
"ORDO AB CHAO: A Latin expression, meaning Order out of Chaos. A motto of the 33rd Degree, and having the same allusion as lug e tenebris". - [ref]Mackey, Encyclopedia of Freemasonry[/ref] - Brad Watson, Miami (talk) 16:48, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

HELP recover picture of album cover!
In my zeal to change "ORDO AD CHAO" to all Capitals - the correct style of Ancient LATIN which is how it is written on album cover, I've lost the picture of the album cover. SORRY! I tried opening up the history and undoing my edits, but I didn't fix it. Can anybody help?! - Brad Watson, Miami (talk) 17:10, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, the issue with the picture has been fixed, and the album cover's picture stands. Anyways, I reverted your edit for a few reasons. For instance, fully capitalizing the interwiki links to similar pages on non-English language Wikipedias misdirect the links and instead lead to nonexistent pages; the original links lead to the actual non-English pages. As well, how the title appears on the album cover is frequently a non-factor in determining how the title is capitalized. I think you might be interested in reading Manual of Style/Capital letters and Manual of Style/Music, and Manual of Style/Capital letters. As for this being a Latin phrase, I am not particularly well-versed in Latin, so I will not comment on the all capitals format itself as it applies to the Latin language. Thank you for your contributions. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 20:33, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Ordo Ad Chao or Ordo ad Chao
