Dodderer is not normally confused (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disordered

'confused' is the definition.
(I know that confused can be written as disordered)

'dodderer is not normally' is the wordplay.
'not normally' is an anagram indicator (the normal order of letters is changed).
'dodderer'+'is'='doddereris'
'doddereris' anagrammed gives 'DISORDERED'.

(Another definition for disordered that I've seen is " Confused, untidy".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
