Stupidly send mad orders (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demands

'orders' is the definition.
(order can mean a demand or instruction)

'stupidly send mad' is the wordplay.
'stupidly' is an anagram indicator (a stupid ordering of the letters).
'send'+'mad'='sendmad'
'sendmad' is an anagram of 'DEMANDS'.

(Other definitions for demands that I've seen before include "Asks peremptorily" , "Insistent requests" , "Orders" , "Requests forcefully" , "Requires" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
