Mixes up a signal and gets into a row (6)

I believe the answer is:

aligns

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

'gets into a row' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'mixes up a signal' is the wordplay.
'mixes up' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'mixing up' mean this).
'signal' anagrammed gives 'ALIGNS'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aligns that I've seen before include "Makes (a policy) fit (with another)" , "Joins forces" , "allies" , "Arranges, in rows say" , "Arranges in a straight row" .)
