Put in an order for a cooker, verbally (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrange

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

'put in an order' is the definition.
'arrange' can be an answer for 'order' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'put in an' bit.

'a cooker verbally' is the wordplay.
'cooker' becomes 'range' (I've seen this in other clues).
'verbally' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'range' is a homophone of 'rrange'.
'a'+'rrange'='ARRANGE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
