OAP to sort LED out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oldster

'oap' is the definition.
(both can mean an elderly person)

'sort led out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'sort'+'led'='sortled'
'sortled' with letters rearranged gives 'OLDSTER'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for oldster that I've seen before include "One no longer inexperienced" , "Mature person" , "Elderly person" , "Aged person" , "Wrinkly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
