Could men possibly like The Times’ pages? (8)

I believe the answer is:

columned

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

'like the times' pages?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'could men possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'could'+'men'='couldmen'
'couldmen' is an anagram of 'COLUMNED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Times.
