Moist jackets damaged, yes -- check order for books (5,6)

'order for books' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'moist jackets damaged yes check' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'yes' is 'eys' which is within the answer.
'moist' could be 'dewy' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'dewy' is present in the leftover letters.
'check' could be 'stem' (both can mean to control or stop) and 'stem' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
