I believe the answer is:

reorder

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'make new demand on brotherhood of monks' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'make new demand on' is the wordplay.
'make new' becomes 're' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'demand' becomes 'order' (I've seen this before).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
're'+'order'='REORDER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reorder that I've seen before include "Arrange afresh" , "Send off again for" , "Rearrange" , "Again apply for" , "Make a further request" .)
