Why is increasing entropy sometimes referred to as "the arrow of time"?

Here's my pick at this:
Entropy (or some form of disorder) will always increase in time.

Thus if you look at snapshots of a system and see that it's entropy is increasing you can tell the flow (or arrow) of time!

Search '2nd Law of thermodynamics' for more info! :)
