Put in order for tape (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cassette

'tape' is the definition.
(cassette tape is a kind of tape)

'put in order' is the wordplay.
'put' becomes 'set' (setting is a kind of putting).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'order' becomes 'caste' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'set' going within 'caste' is 'CASSETTE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for cassette that I've seen before include "Vintage recording" , "Test case (anag.)" , "Audio tape holder" , "Video" , "Tape unit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
