Regulated as instructed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ordered

I believe this is a double definition.

'regulated' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'instructed' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ordered that I've seen before include "Charged; tidy" , "required" , "requested" , "well-organised" , "Gave instruction, commanded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
