Command of doctrine I organised (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

direction

'command' is the definition.
(direction is a kind of command)

'doctrine i organised' is the wordplay.
'organised' is an anagram indicator.
'doctrine'+'i'='doctrinei'
'doctrinei' anagrammed gives 'DIRECTION'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for direction that I've seen before include "Guidance" , "The way in which something is moving" , "Trend, tendency" , "Management" , "Tenor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
