Cannot demur, getting to change order (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

countermand

'order' is the definition.

'cannot demur getting to change' is the wordplay.
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'to change' indicates an anagram.
'cannot'+'demur'='cannotdemur'
'cannotdemur' with letters rearranged gives 'COUNTERMAND'.

(Other definitions for countermand that I've seen before include "Revoke; declare invalid" , "Recall" , "Revoke (an order)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
