Line of succession for knighthood? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

order

I believe this is a triple definition!

'line' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' acts as a link.

'succession' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'for' acts as a link.

'knighthood?' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for order that I've seen before include "demand" , "One may be tall if demanding" , "Command; arrange" , "Direct or requisition" , "booking" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
