Question

The second law of thermodynamics states that all energy transformations result in an increase in entropy (disorder). If so, how does photosynthesis, which is an energy transformation, create order rather than disorder

Answer 1

Answer: Through photosynthesis carbon dioxide and water is converted to glucose which is more ordered.

Explanation:

Besides that initial consideration there is solar energy being added to the reaction which might be worth noting.

More important to note is that organic molecules/compounds such as glucose are higher in order compared to inorganic molecules/compounds such as water.
