Men following an order (6)

I believe the answer is:

friars

(Other definitions for friars that I've seen before include "Members of religious orders such as Franciscans" , "Religious mendicants" , "Eg, male Carmelites" , "Religious men like Franciscans and Dominicans" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
