Being out of line, am listing men for transfer (12)

I believe the answer is:

misalignment

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

'being out' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'line am listing men for transfer' is the wordplay.
'am listing men' can be anagrammed to 'MISALIGNMENT'.
Though, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
