Abandonment of issued order (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disuse

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

'issued order' is the wordplay.
'order' is an anagram indicator.
'issued' is an anagram of 'DISUSE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for disuse that I've seen before include "Neglect; desuetude" , "Neglect; abandonment" , "Issued (anag)" , "State of not being employed" , "Fall into this state to be unemplyed? (6)." .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
