neatness

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

'good order' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'head of cattle?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'head' could be 'ness' (type of geographical point) and 'ness' is found within the answer.
'cattle?' could be 'neat' (I've seen this before) and 'neat' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for neatness that I've seen before include "smart condition" , "well-tended condition" , "Orderliness" , "Apple-pie order" , "simple elegance" .)
