Clear and complicated dates listed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

calendar

'dates listed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'clear and complicated' is the wordplay.
'complicated' indicates an anagram (a complex or confusing ordering of the letters).
'clear'+'and'='clearand'
'clearand' is an anagram of 'CALENDAR'.

(Other definitions for calendar that I've seen before include "Date chart" , "that's stuffed with dates" , "Chart showing months and days" , "Table of days and dates" , "Almanac" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
