Order, say, two lots of aluminium with cheap bit thrown in (12)
I believe the answer is:
alphabetical
'order say two lots of aluminium with cheap bit thrown in' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'lots of aluminium with cheap bit thrown in' is the wordplay.
'lots of' becomes 'al' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'aluminium' becomes 'al' (chemical symbol).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'thrown in' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters must be thrown around).
'cheap'+'bit'='cheapbit'
'cheapbit' is an anagram of 'phabetic'.
'al' after 'phabetic' is 'phabetical'.
'al'+'phabetical'='ALPHABETICAL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alphabetical that I've seen before include "Related to 26 characters" , "One sort of order" , "Ordered A to Z" , "Arranged in order from A to Z" , "One kind of order" .)
