mite

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

'something tiny' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'time to order' is the wordplay.
'to order' indicates anagramming the letters.
'time' anagrammed gives 'MITE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mite that I've seen before include "Old piece" , "The widow's small donation" , "Tiny creature found in food" , "Minute creature" , "Tiny arachnid, person or amount of money" .)
