Crossword Genius

An alphabetical list is on hand (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

index

I believe this is a double definition.

'an alphabetical list' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'on hand' is the second definition.
(I know that index anatomical location hand)

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for index that I've seen before include "Forefinger" , "A-to-Z listing" , "Pointer" , "Reference" , "List at end of book" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
