The second part of this paper develops an approach suggested in Entropy  2020 , 22 (1), 11; which relates ordering in physical systems to symmetrizing. Entropy is frequently interpreted as a quantitative measure of "chaos" or "disorder". However, the notions of "chaos" and "disorder" are vague and subjective, to a great extent. This leads to numerous misinterpretations of entropy. We propose that the disorder is viewed as an absence of symmetry and identify "ordering" with symmetrizing of a physical system; in other words, introducing the elements of symmetry into an initially disordered physical system. We explore the initially disordered system of elementary magnets exerted to the external magnetic field H → . Imposing symmetry restrictions diminishes the entropy of the system and decreases its temperature. The general case of the system of elementary magnets demonstrating j -fold symmetry is studied. The T j = T j interrelation takes place, where T and T j are the temperatures of non-symmetrized and j -fold-symmetrized systems of the magnets, correspondingly.
