Put in order re tins (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insert

'put in' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'order re tins' is the wordplay.
'order' indicates anagramming the letters.
're'+'tins'='retins'
'retins' anagrammed gives 'INSERT'.

(Other definitions for insert that I've seen before include "Put thing in between others" , "One might be seen" , "Place (something) inside (something else)" , "place in the interior" , "Put between or within other things" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
