Line sets tied? braided? wtf?

So ...total noob question but I was never told so I just dont know... What is the purpose of this braided, knotted or weird looping process I've seen whenever canopies are off risers (storage/shipping etc..) Ive also seen this while people are wearing their rig. I would assume its to not make a mess of your lines but is there a name for this, and how is it done? If Im not making sense, see attachment below

I believe the english name for it is daisy chain.
And as you assumed, it's because you don't want to make a mess of the gear.
If you don't daisy chain and just stuff everything in your gearbag you will probably get a few step troughs when you try to lift it out.

It's called a "Daisy chain"
