The ratings wrong, put things right (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

straighten

'put things right' is the definition.

'the ratings wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'the'+'ratings'='theratings'
'theratings' with letters rearranged gives 'STRAIGHTEN'.

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
