Crossword Genius

Mixed trades so represented (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assorted

'mixed' is the definition.
(I know that mixed can be written as assorted)

'trades so represented' is the wordplay.
'represented' indicates an anagram.
'trades'+'so'='tradesso'
'tradesso' anagrammed gives 'ASSORTED'.

(Other definitions for assorted that I've seen before include "Rod's seat (anag)" , "Motley" , "Of different kinds put together, like sweets" , "Odd-shaped" , "Classified" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
