Brought to order it turned and passed on (6)

I believe the answer is:

tidied

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

'brought to order' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'it turned and passed on' is the wordplay.
'turned' is a reversal indicator.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'passed on' becomes 'died' (I've seen this before).
'it' reversed gives 'ti'.
'ti'+'died'='TIDIED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tidied that I've seen before include "Neatened" , "Made neat and trim" , "put away" , "Cleared away" , "Got spruce" .)
