Neglect to order it (4)

I believe the answer is:

omit

'neglect' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'order it' is the wordplay.
'order' becomes 'om' (Order of Merit).
'om'+'it'='OMIT'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for omit that I've seen before include "Leave out or forget" , "Leave out or neglect" , "Neglect to include" , "Leave out, perhaps in error" , "Fail to use" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
