... or drone, supply having been requested (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on order

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'been requested' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'or drone supply' is the wordplay.
'supply' is an anagram indicator (in a supple way).
'or'+'drone'='ordrone'
'ordrone' with letters rearranged gives 'ON ORDER'.

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for on order that I've seen is " Awaiting delivery".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
