Deny order was void (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disavow

'deny' is the definition.
(disavowing is a kind of denying)

'order was void' is the wordplay.
'order' is an anagram indicator.
'was'+'void'='wasvoid'
'wasvoid' with letters rearranged gives 'DISAVOW'.

(Other definitions for disavow that I've seen before include "Refuse to acknowledge" , "Deny responsibility for (something)" , "To deny support" , "Disclaim" , "To deny knowledge of" .)

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