Order cider with one seen staggering around (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

decree nisi

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

'order' is the definition.
(I know that decree nisi is a type of order)

'cider with one seen staggering around' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'seen' is 'eens' which is located in the remaining letters.
an anagram of 'cider' is 'decri' which is within the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for decree nisi that I've seen before include "Judicial order" , "Provisional divorce order" , "Provisional divorce document" , "court order" , "Separation agreement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
