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

'new order' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'ran greater men ragged' is the wordplay.
'ragged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ran'+'greater'+'men'='rangreatermen'
'rangreatermen' anagrammed gives 'REARRANGEMENT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rearrangement that I've seen before include "A new ordering" , "Moving around of component parts" , "Act of moving things around" , "Act of changing layout of items" , "Process of moving things around" .)
