Fruit crop as it is sorted (8)
I believe the answer is:
apricots
'fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'crop as it is sorted' is the wordplay.
'is sorted' is an anagram indicator.
'crop'+'as'+'it'='cropasit'
'cropasit' is an anagram of 'APRICOTS'.
(Other definitions for apricots that I've seen before include "Orange fruit" , "Rio pacts about the fruits" , "Rio pacts produce the fruit" , "Tip Oscar to get the fruits" , "trees" .)
