If I want to tell somebody that don't put/throw something randomly, so that I cannot find it.

Could I use "leave around", "randomly", "in order" in a sentense? which one is correct.

Thanks.

In your case,

Lie around/about: be left carelessly out of place, leave something somewhere carelessly

  • There were pills and potions lying around in every corner of the house.
  • Don't leave your stuff lying around.
