He did order it in the periodic table, but i think what your looking for is that he arranged it in order of increasing Atomic mass

Who came up with the periodic table and how was it arranged?

It took many years to discover these elements. Hundreds of
thousands worked and arranged the Periodic Table of Elements.
The basic design of the periodic table was thought up by Dmitri
Mendeleev. It was his idea to arrange the elements according to
atomic mass (because this gave repeating patterns of properties).
Later it was discovered that atomic charge was what was really
important. Eventually the gaps Mendeleev left were filled in by the
discovery of more elements, so while many scientist contributed to
the modern periodic table Mendeleev is considered to have invented
it.
Asked in Chemistry
What important contribution did Dmitri mendeleev make to chemistry?

He invented the periodic table. You must know what that means;
he was the father of basic chemistry.
Actually, he didn't discover the periodic table. He just
arranged the only elements he had available in his day (not a lot)
and arranged them based on patterns of # of protons, electrons,
reactivity, etc. He didn't have an in-depth knowledge yet of
electron configuration ;however, his "guess" turned out to have so
many great implications that we now use his invention everyday
everywhere.
Asked in History of Science, Periodic Table
How was mendeleyev able to predict the existence of elements that had not yet discovered?

Because there were gaps in the periodic table, which he
invented. Unlike other scientist of the time who tried to make the
elements fit theircategorising system, such as Newlands and his law
of octaves, Mendeleev came to the conclusion that they had not
discovered all the elements as he noticed patterns that allowed you
to categorise elements if you left gaps that undiscovered elements
could fill.
