Ordered goods, worthless sort (3,3)

I believe the answer is:

bad egg

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

'worthless sort' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'ordered goods' is the wordplay.
'ordered' becomes 'bade' (past tense of 'bid' as in to order).
'goods' becomes 'gg' (g is abbreviation for good - twice).
'bade'+'gg'='BAD EGG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bad egg that I've seen before include "Villain" , "Nasty person like addled ovoid" , "Was the cartoon curate presented with one" , "A real stinker?" , "A rotten ovoid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Independent.
