Crossword Genius

Sort out high night rates (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

straighten

'sort out' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'high night rates' is the wordplay.
'high' indicates an anagram (like drunk).
'night'+'rates'='nightrates'
'nightrates' anagrammed gives 'STRAIGHTEN'.

(Other definitions for straighten that I've seen before include "Unbend, align" , "Get in line" , "put back in order" , "put in alignment?" , "Shattering (anag) - unbend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
