Record on order -- keep being inconvenience! (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

discomfort

'being inconvenience' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'record on order keep' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'disc' ('disc' can be a synonym of 'record').
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'order' becomes 'om' (order of merit).
'keep' becomes 'fort' (I've seen this before**).
'disc'+'om'+'fort'='DISCOMFORT'

(Other definitions for discomfort that I've seen before include "Slight anxiety" , "tenderness?" , "Unease" , "pain" , "uneasiness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
