Bill getting misplaced in sequence? It’s due to the cold (9)

I believe the answer is:

chilblain

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'due to the cold' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'bill getting misplaced in sequence?' is the wordplay.
'getting misplaced' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in the wrong places).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'sequence?' becomes 'chain' (I've seen this before).
'bill' anagrammed gives 'ilbl'.
'ilbl' going into 'chain' is 'CHILBLAIN'.

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
