Orderly needs craft and influence (9)
I believe the answer is:
shipshape
'orderly' is the definition.
('shipshape' can be a synonym of 'orderly')
'craft and influence' is the wordplay.
'craft' becomes 'ship' (ship is a kind of craft).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'influence' becomes 'shape' ('shape' can be a synonym of 'influence'**).
'ship'+'shape'='SHIPSHAPE'
'needs' is the link.
(Other definitions for shipshape that I've seen before include "Ordered" , "In good order, like well-dressed sailor?" , "In seaworthy condition" , "Hash pipes may be in good order - like sailor?" , "Neat and tidy" .)
