Keep in mind that there is no absolute line where being neat and organized turns into OCD.  Is it a problem for you?  Do you waste time or feel anxiety because of it?  Make sure you are not trying to change something that is a style or preference because he is different.

Assuming that it is a a point where you feel it has gotten out of hand, it is definitely treatable with therapy and sometimes medication.  See the ocfoundation.org site for more detail and a list of therapists.
