Both meanings are about adjust or fix, but I can't manage to understand why

> 温度を **調整した** ( right )  
>  温度を **整えた** ( wrong )

If 整える usually means fix something to the right condition/state the second
sentence should be ok as well.

question
grammar meaning word-choice
What's the difference between 調整する and 整える?
Here is an outdated answer:

整える is not used for 'to adjust'. My Japanese-English dictionary at hand lists
'fix' and 'prepare' for 整える. You don't say 'fix the temperature' in English,
do you?

answer
整える does not mean to 'fix' something, but to prepare and make tidy. It can be
used as 部屋を整える : clean up the room or 資料を整える : prepare and make the data in
order.
