Crossword Genius

Arrangement for auctioning rubbish (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

configuration

'arrangement' is the definition.
(configuration is a kind of arrangement)

'for auctioning rubbish' is the wordplay.
'rubbish' indicates an anagram (a poor quality or rubbish spelling of the letters).
'for'+'auctioning'='forauctioning'
'forauctioning' anagrammed gives 'CONFIGURATION'.

(Other definitions for configuration that I've seen before include "Arrangement (of parts)" , "Composition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
