Highly desirable change of editor (2,3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

to die for

'highly desirable' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'change of editor' is the wordplay.
'change' is an anagram indicator.
'of'+'editor'='ofeditor'
'ofeditor' is an anagram of 'TO DIE FOR'.

(Other definitions for to die for that I've seen before include "Superb" , "Highly desirable or alluring" , "hot" , "Extremely desirable (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
