Fake ID general set straight (9)

I believe the answer is:

realigned

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

'set straight' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs can sometimes mean the same thing.

'fake id general' is the wordplay.
'fake' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'id'+'general'='idgeneral'
'idgeneral' is an anagram of 'REALIGNED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for realigned that I've seen is " Grouped again on a new basis".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
