Spanish term

ordenadora

Spanish to English Other Government / Politics
This is an academic study of the investiture of the president in Spain.
Many uses of "ordenador" as an adjective, not just here but references to the capacidad ordenadora, función ordenadora, etc.
This ain't no computer here, folks
Somehow, "ordering" just does not sound right

INVESTIDURA DEL PRESIDENTE DEL GOBIERNO Y FUNCIÓN ORDENADORA DE LA PRESIDENCIA DEL CONGRESO

Slight tweek of Eileen's answer as I think these adjectives ring better with "function"

organising/administrating

These seem to be the only possibilities for me Justin, due to
it relating to official activities, if it were not official I would use
some rather radical words related to control....

organizing manager

Something like organizing manager might work.

Scheduling manager might be too specific, although it sounds good.

Spanish term (edited): ordenador/a

marshal/ling / function etc. /

You - or Ewe: see the first example sentence - know that this is another weasel-word. 'Authoris/zing office etc,' isn't very congruous in the context, but ordonnateur in FRE also has that as a routine translation.

Note that, in the USA, a marshal like an 'air marshal' has a policing function and- in the UK - a marshal means a law student or legal trainee clerking often for a Civil High, Appeal or Criminal Crown judge and 'marshalling' the latter's papers, plus doing case and other research.
Example sentence:

IATE: AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHERIES (56) COM es ordenadora para ovejas COM en milking unit for ewes COM

Rather than marshalling the federal government’s power and resources..., the Trump administration punted the issue to cities and states, where politics and a lack of resources made it impossible to track the virus or provide accurate information ...

Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : This has nothing to do with marshals, marshalling, law students or judge's clerks

ordenadora

Esa función ordenadora parece que tiene que ver con las funciones de los diputados y alcance de sus decisiones, especialmente para nombrar a un Presidente del Gobierno.
