How are galaxies arranged in the universe?

Answer 1

As far as I know, not in any particular order.

Nevertheless, clusters are formed by the gravitational attraction between galaxies, and these clusters then merge to form superclusters, which create a structure resembling a sponge with voids—pockets of empty space—between them that span millions of light-years.

Galaxies are arranged in the universe in various structures known as galaxy clusters, galaxy groups, and superclusters. These structures are held together by gravity, with galaxies often organized along filaments and sheets forming a cosmic web. At the largest scales, galaxies are distributed in a somewhat uniform manner throughout the universe, with vast voids separating galaxy clusters.
