I believe the answer is:

timetable

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

'order' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'e tablet i'm circulating' is the wordplay.
'circulating' is an anagram indicator.
'e'+'tablet'+'im'='etabletim'
'etabletim' is an anagram of 'TIMETABLE'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for timetable that I've seen before include "Schedule of events" , "Programme" , "Syllabus" .)
