Pass by please in proper order (6)

I believe the answer is:

elapse

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

'pass by' is the definition.
(to elapse is to run out or pass by)

'please in proper order' is the wordplay.
'please' can be anagrammed to 'ELAPSE'.
However, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elapse that I've seen before include "Tick by" , "Go past" , "Please (anag) -- pass away" , "Of time, pass by - please" , "run by" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
