I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'requisitions' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'priests?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'taken by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orders that I've seen before include "books" , "Holy - -" , "Commands the religious ones?" , "Dictates, commands" , "the clergy take" .)
