Doesn't sit in order to get a seat? (6)

I believe the answer is:

stands

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

'doesn't sit in order' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'to get a seat?' is the wordplay.
'to get' indicates putting letters inside.
'a' becomes 'an'.
'seat?' becomes 'stds' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'an' inserted inside 'stds' is 'STANDS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stands that I've seen before include "Tolerates" , "Remains valid" , "Remains unchanged" , "In which to sit at football matches" , "Endures" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
