Raid or no raid -- that needs sorting out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inroad

'raid' is the definition.
(inroad can mean a raid or attack)

'no raid that needs sorting out' is the wordplay.
'that needs sorting out' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'no'+'raid'='noraid'
'noraid' anagrammed gives 'INROAD'.

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for inroad that I've seen before include "Foray" , "One's intrusive" , "Offensive" , "Ordain (anag.)" , "Incursion, raid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
