Put in order for tools starting DIY conversion (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tidy

'put in order' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'tools starting diy conversion' is the wordplay.
'starting' indicates taking the first letters.
'conversion' indicates anagramming the letters.
The first letter of 'tools' is 't'.
'diy' is an anagram of 'idy'.
't'+'idy'='TIDY'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for tidy that I've seen before include "Receptacle for odds and ends" , "Spruce up" , "Considerable (sum); neat" , "In apple-pie order" , "generous" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
