Perhaps Franklin's signature on page is in order (7)

I believe the answer is:

respect

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

'perhaps franklin's signature' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'on page is in order' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' (regarding).
'page' becomes 'p'.
'is in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'order' becomes 'sect' (both can mean a religious organisation).
'p' inserted inside 'sect' is 'spect'.
're'+'spect'='RESPECT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for respect that I've seen before include "Deference, obedience" , "Venerate" , "Sceptre (anag)" , "Refuse to offend" , "Regard, deference" .)
