Importance of tidying jumble (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dignity

'importance' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'tidying jumble' is the wordplay.
'jumble' is an anagram indicator.
'tidying' anagrammed gives 'DIGNITY'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dignity that I've seen before include "Sense of self-importance" , "high position" , "(Self-)esteem" , "Tidying (anag.)" , "Self-respect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
