Are nets ordered from Asia? (7)

I believe the answer is:

eastern

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

'from asia?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'are nets ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'are'+'nets'='arenets'
'arenets' is an anagram of 'EASTERN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eastern that I've seen before include "Possibly Japanese" , "from afar" , "in Beijing, possibly" , "From Japan, say" , "See 11" .)
