I don't think that captures the sense. Light can be neat or orderly in the 
property of going all in the same direction, or consisting of only one 
frequency, as well as oscillating in one plane. I think the place structure 
should be "x1 is polarized in direction/circular rotation/combination thereof 
x2".
