ID card's not in order? That's harsh (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

discordant

'harsh' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'id card's not in order?' is the wordplay.
'in order?' is an anagram indicator (the letters in a new order).
'id'+'cards'+'not'='idcardsnot'
'idcardsnot' is an anagram of 'DISCORDANT'.

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for discordant that I've seen before include "Lacking harmony; conflicting" , "off-key" , "Raucous" , "At variance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
