Lamenting changes, getting into a row (9)
I believe the answer is:
alignment
'into a row' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'lamenting changes' is the wordplay.
'changes' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lamenting' anagrammed gives 'ALIGNMENT'.
'getting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alignment that I've seen before include "Soldiers must dress properly for this" , "evening out" , "political position" , "Alliance" , "Order" .)
