Changes order to rump and angers cook (10)

I believe the answer is:

rearranges

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

'changes order' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'rump and angers cook' is the wordplay.
'rump' becomes 'rear' (synonyms).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cook' indicates anagramming the letters.
'angers' is an anagram of 'ranges'.
'rear'+'ranges'='REARRANGES'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for rearranges that I've seen is " Sorts".)
