An inner sleeve, we hear, getting straight (8)

I believe the answer is:

aligning

'getting straight' is the definition.
(aligning something is making it straight)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for aligning that I've seen before include "Ordering" , "Placing in line symmetrically" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
