列
liè
to arrange
to line up; file; series; (in data tables) column; (Tw) row
bones (歹) + knife (刂) = cut and arrange in a line
A knife splits things apart and lays them out in order — hence the sense of arranging or lining things up in a row. 歹 here is primarily phonetic, giving the liè sound rather than its usual meaning of 'evil' or 'death'.
