Representative may get an order (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agent

'representative' is the definition.
(agent is a kind of representative)

'get an order' is the wordplay.
'order' indicates an anagram.
'get'+'an'='getan'
'getan' with letters rearranged gives 'AGENT'.

'may' is the link.

(Other definitions for agent that I've seen before include "One acting on behalf of another" , "One may be working" , "who can act?" , "Catalyst" , "that may be secret?" .)

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