Carefully selected result by breeding as ordered (8,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

designer baby

'carefully selected result' is the definition.
(baby whose genes have been carefully selected)

'by breeding as ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'by'+'breeding'+'as'='bybreedingas'
'bybreedingas' is an anagram of 'DESIGNER BABY'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
