Cried set should be sorted in a careful manner (8)
I believe the answer is:
discreet
'sorted in a careful manner' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'cried set should' is the wordplay.
'cried set' can be anagrammed to 'DISCREET'.
But, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for discreet that I've seen before include "Diplomatic" , "Doesn't blab secrets, cautious" , "Careful in keeping a secret" , "Circumspect, considerate" , "Careful not to attract attention" .)
