  1. I think the word you want is disheveled.  


  2. It's listed in ODLIS —

    as misshelved, but I don't see it in any standard dictionaries.


  3. Did you mean disheveled as suggested by flipsmum or did you mean shelved incorrectly, such as a library book being in the wrong place?  If the latter, I don't think its a word.
