The Societal Order (August Comte’s “outward,” “material,” or “social” order) is the organized arrangement of institutions, roles, commemorations, and powers through which the moral and intellectual orders become "durable [actualized] in history."

Institutionalization. Societal Order fixes the normal separation of temporal/industrial power (execution, production) and spiritual power (direction, judgment, moralization). The higher rank of the "spiritual" power comes from the higher kind of progress it promotes.[1]
Common calendar and festivals. Through the Positivist Calendar, the cult of the dead, and public worship, the order of society is bound to its past and to Humanity as a whole.[2]
Family / domestic cell. Early moral education in the family (presided over by woman) prepares individuals for incorporation into the public and industrial order.[3]
Sociocracy. The aim is “the general direction of this world” and the creation of “a real Providence… in all departments—moral, intellectual, and material,” which is precisely what a comprehensive societal order does.[4]
Integration of classes. Patriciate (material providence), proletariat (general providence), women (moral providence), and priesthood (intellectual providence) are articulated so that “all the powers of man… conduce to the preservation and improvement of Humanity.”[5]
SpiritWiki note: We can prefer Societal Order to the looser “material order” because Comte is clearly talking about the whole institutional field (family, spiritual power, temporal power, commemorations, education), not only the economy.
