Reportedly puts in order forms (5)
I believe the answer is:
rites
'forms' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Ceremonial forms ' mean 'rites' so perhaps 'forms' could also mean 'rites')
'reportedly puts in order' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'puts in order' becomes 'rights' (to right something is to put it in order).
'rights' sounds like 'RITES'.
(Other definitions for rites that I've seen before include "Prescribed religious ceremonies" , "formal procedure" , "Tires of religious ceremonies" , "offices" , "Rituals" .)
