The $\nu=2/5$ state is spin-unpolarized at weak magnetic field and fully polarized at strong field. At intermediate field, a plateau of half the maximal polarization is observed. We study this phenomenon in the frame of composite fermion theory. Due to the mixing of the composite fermion Landau levels, the unidirectional charge/spin density wave state of composite fermions is lower in energy than the Wigner crystal. It means that transport anisotropy, similar to those for electrons in higher Landau levels at half fillings, may take place at this fractional quantum Hall state when the external magnetic field is in an appropriate range. When the magnetic field is tilted an angle, the easy transport direction is perpendicular to the direction of the in-plane field. Varying the partial filling factor of composite fermion Landau level from 0 to 1, we find that the energy minimum occurs in the vicinity of one-half.
