Tidy file? Somehow that’s showing devotion (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fidelity

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

'showing devotion' is the definition.
'fidelity' can be an answer for 'devotion' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'showing' bit.

'tidy file? somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'tidy'+'file'='tidyfile'
'tidyfile' anagrammed gives 'FIDELITY'.

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fidelity that I've seen before include "Loyalty" , "Tidy file (anag)" , "The quality of being faithful" , "Faithfulness" , "Devotion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
