Note the difference between (Lawful -vs- Chaotic) & "Law and Chaos".
The opposite of chaos is order!
"Order and Chaos" is akin to (Lawful -vs- Chaotic), NOT "Law and Chaos".
We recognize "Hot and Cold" & "Black and White" as opposites.
"White and Hot" is akin to "Law and Chaos". [Although there is a relation between order and law.]
I would list the opposite of Law as Anarchy.
[The acute reader now recognizes the paralleled relationship between anarchy and chaos.]
I'm not sure why the word Lawful was ever selected. But it is the standard!
The reader needs to find the word "order" when looking into the word "Lawful" and not just shorten "Lawful" to "Law".
Yes, Laws are important to groups. (and to adventurers who usually break them!)
You can be Lawful aligned and break a law!
Similliarly, You can be Chaotic aligned and follow a law!
