Sorting out crash blame? Cue an ——— (9,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ambulance chaser

'sorting' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'out crash blame? cue an' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator.
'crash'+'blame'+'cue'+'an'='crashblamecuean'
'crashblamecuean' is an anagram of 'AMBULANCE CHASER'.

(Another definition for ambulance chaser that I've seen is " Dodgy lawyer".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
