Not the same as put into proper order (8)
I believe the answer is:
assorted
'not the same' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'as put into proper order' is the wordplay.
'put into proper order' becomes 'sorted' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'as'+'sorted'='ASSORTED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assorted that I've seen before include "like some chocolates" , "Of different kinds put together, say sweets" , "Of different kinds put together, like sweets" , "Miscellaneous, sundry" , "Mixed" .)
