Order stick to be raised on time (5)
I believe the answer is:
enact
'order' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'stick to be raised on time' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'cane' (cane is a kind of stick).
'to be raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'time' becomes 't'.
'cane' reversed gives 'enac'.
'enac'+'t'='ENACT'
(Other definitions for enact that I've seen before include "Present" , "Bring in" , "Decree" , "Authorize" , "get into law" .)
