rankle

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

'get your goat' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'order the french' is the wordplay.
'order' becomes 'rank' (rank order is a kind of order).
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'rank'+'le'='RANKLE'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rankle that I've seen before include "Cause lasting bitterness and resentment" , "Chafe" , "Continually vex or irritate" , "Annoy continually" , "Continue to vex" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
