An ailment is a mild illness which may be persistent.

A disorder on the other hand is something that causes malfunction.

For example, genetic disorders like Huntington's disease or Marfan syndrome are caused by disorders in genetic material or chromosomes i.e., the whole arrangement has been altered thus leading to a malfunction.

However, tiredness or eyestrain are examples of ailments.
