Goes off to sort out (4)
I believe the answer is:
rots
'goes off' is the definition.
'sort out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'sort' with letters rearranged gives 'ROTS'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for rots that I've seen before include "Decays" , "Decomposes" .)
I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
