Robinson Crusoe economical, imperialist, keeping order.

Early in his residence on the island, Crusoe expends vast amounts of time and energy in digging a cave, making sheves for it, etc. He is, however, very satisfied with the resulting appearance: "it look'd like a general magazine of all necessary things, and I have everything so ready at my hand, that is was great pleasure to me to see all my goods in such order." (p. 56 Penguin Classics addition) What exactly is the important of order for Robinson, as it is manifested, for example, in his detailed accounts, the regulation of his daily activities, his concern for chronology, his use of contracts, in the writing of his jounral and autobiography and how is this indicitive of him not only being organized but having an economical and imperialist mindset?
