Absolute zero is the minimum possible entropy state. Pure thermal radiation (blackbody radiation) the maximum.
That's in terms of radiation...energy. However, compared to a lump of coal, pure blackbody radiation is highly disordered. It really depends on how you define entropy, order/disorder w.r.t. whatever you're looking at.

Semantics, yeah I know, but what you said is correct.
