Put coal into different place (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

location

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

'place' is the definition.
(I know that place can be written as location)

'put coal into different' is the wordplay.
'coal into' can be anagrammed to 'LOCATION'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for location that I've seen before include "Position, point in space" , "Place, site" , "Spot - where films may be shot" , "Particular place" , "Place, position" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
