bboy_mn:

It seems like we just talked about this recently.

The possibilties are -

The Command of the Phoenix

The Sequence of the Phoenix

The Fraternal Organization of the Phoenix.
As in a lodge or club...

The Honor Society of the Phoenix
As in awarded knighthood in the Order of the British Empire, or Order
of Merlin ...


Any that I missed?

However, we now have translations in two foreign languages that point
to fraternal organization or honor society. Anyone speak French,
Spanish, or German, who would like to add additional translations? Of
course, tranlation only has meaning if the language has separate words
for the various meanings of the word 'order'.

Alos, It could be that translators just assumed that order=organization.

Just a thought.
