No, it is simply that entropy leads to order, but can also only be appreciated within order.

If you take a look at the brand-new universe, all was chaotic, but that chaos was indescribable, because there was nothing to compare it to. As parts of it ordered themselves, they became the contrast to the chaos, which, in turn, worked against their ordering. The order that will eventually result... the heat death of the universe... is the triumph of entropy, which results in order.

Law and chaos are seen as being a dichotomy, not complementing forces. It's a yin yang, not two forces staring at each other over a wall.
