Crossword Genius

Eve sorted out docker (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stevedore

'docker' is the definition.
('stevedore' can be a synonym of 'docker')

'eve sorted out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'eve'+'sorted'='evesorted'
'evesorted' anagrammed gives 'STEVEDORE'.

(Other definitions for stevedore that I've seen before include "one working in docks" , "he'll have loads on board" , "Worker who loads and unloads ships" , "Dock worker" , "Docker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
