In good order, until put out (2,2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

up to snuff

'in good order' is the definition.
(at the necessary standard)

'until put out' is the wordplay.
'until' becomes 'upto' (I've seen this before).
'put out' becomes 'snuff' (I've seen this before).
'upto'+'snuff'='UP TO SNUFF'

(Other definitions for up to snuff that I've seen before include "arrived at Standard?" , "in good health" , "Dependent on tobacco" , "Feeling good" , "Of a suitable standard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
