Not the sole list (4)
I believe the answer is:
heel
'list' is the definition.
(both can mean to lean or tilt)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heel that I've seen before include "Scoundrel - list - shoe part" , "villain" , "Cad,bounder, blackguard" , "A cad and a bounder!" , "I might let down" .)
