Nothing wrong with having books, CDs etc. in order.
I don't really have enough CDs, or use them enough, to alphebetise them but I at least put the same band's stuff together or it would take longer to find things. BooksI arrange alphebetically by author and as chronologically as I can be arsed to -- i.e. I at least put trilogies in the right order.
The clothes makes sense too, though I don't do it myself seeing ad my wardrobe is very limited.
Oh, the pilows makes sense too as a comfort thng -- I also tend to put the openings of pillowcases to the outside of the bed so I'm not facing the openng when laying towards the centre of the bed.
Butter and margerine is the ideal way too as it's the easiest way to use it.
In summary I think some of the rituals we have are for good reason and make life just a tiny bit better.

But if these things don't happen,
I get severely agitated ad must fix it. Sometimes brings me close to tears.

Completely with you
When I had cassettes, they were alphabetical and chronological. CDs were the same. I made spreadsheets (and in one supreme fit of boredom and/or anal retentiveness an Access database) cataloguing them by name, artist, genre (oh, the joy of deliberating between heavy metal and hard rock, or electronica and techno!), year of release, year bought, etc. Now on iTunes everything has to be correct - CANNOT have any confusion between e.g. REM and R.E.M., while numbers of plays, album rating and last played are informative and useful. But they have to all be right! God knows how much time I have spent getting all of this right.

I can't possibly rate my music.
What if I get it wrong? I know it's just my opinion, but what if I horribly misjudge a piece of music, rate it low, not listen to it for years and then find out it's actually a masterpiece?

Then you can congratulate yourself for championing some underground sounds that didn't get the recognition they deserved
