On pier, reapplied rigs; now absolutely OK (2,5-3,5)
I believe the answer is:
in apple-pie order
'absolutely ok' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'on pier reapplied rigs' is the wordplay.
'rigs' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'rigged' mean this).
'on'+'pier'+'reapplied'='onpierreapplied'
'onpierreapplied' with letters rearranged gives 'IN APPLE-PIE ORDER'.
'now' acts as a link.
