Entropy is a measure of Unpredictability, not about disorder. Disorder is a measure of lack of order, where the passage of time is dependent on a unique path of evolution, where every step of the previous time point can not be changed at all, that means the ordering sequence is completely locked down by a fixed order. Therefore, entropy cannot be a measure of disorder.

Some example of Disorder related to Entropy

In a video:How Einstein changed time forever [1], Jim Al-Khalili stated that:

Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system.

— Jim Al-Khalili, How Einstein changed time forever

Relating disorder to entropy is a common semantic mistake made by science teachers.
