This clue might be a double definition.

'little susan' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'not last in canal' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sue that I've seen before include "Make a legal claim" , "Charge" , "Litigious girl" , "take to 10 [COURT] !" , "Entreat; girl's name (dim.)" .)
