A cell will die (increase in entropy, or decay) if it dose not receive nutrition from outside itself. Fortunately, the cell is an open system, meaning it can take in energy from the outside environment (nutrition) and put back out an equal amount of energy (heat and entropy), keeping the cell alive (causing order) by reducing the increasing entropy (decay), causing it to neither fall nor rise. This is "self ordering" and not "self organizing," a VERY big difference.

Order is the systematic arrangement of something, meaning the "order" mentioned above is referring to an arrangement "of, characterized by, based on, or constituting a system" (Dictionary.com definition for systematic). Organizing, on the other hand, is taking a system and adding information (from out side) to make it work better then before. Thing is, "self organization" requires a lack of external information (hence the word "self").
