The cries, ‘Out of order’, are from schismatics (8)

I believe the answer is:

heretics

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

'order are from schismatics' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'the cries out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'the'+'cries'='thecries'
'thecries' with letters rearranged gives 'HERETICS'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heretics that I've seen before include "Dissenters" , "They are religiously unorthodox" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
