Sort of dislike oddly ignored (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ilk

'sort' is the definition.
(ilk is a kind of sort)

'dislike oddly ignored' is the wordplay.
'oddly ignored' indicates alternate letters.
The alternate letters of 'dislike' are 'ILK'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for ilk that I've seen before include "Description" , "Like" , "Kind of silks" , "A certain type of person" , "Of that kind or sort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
