My opinion. There's no context, so it's hard to say whether "proper" is right or wrong or the best choice, as Catherine wants to know (see original text's page).
Hi Catherine,
sorry if I'm a bit late in your discussion..
it seems like you already now know what the text is about. I checked the word in my dictionary one more time and another word for "ordentlig" could be "reliable" (honest, trustworthy).
