We describe the orbit structure for the action of the centralizer group C(T) of a linear operator T on a finite-dimensional complex vector space V. The main application is to the classification of solutions to a system of first-order ODEs with constant coefficients. We completely describe the lattice structure on the set of orbits and provide a generating function for the number of orbits in each dimension.
