hospitality

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

'when i play host it is in order' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'i play host it is in order' is the wordplay.
'is in order' indicates an anagram (the letters in a new order).
'i'+'play'+'host'+'it'='iplayhostit'
'iplayhostit' with letters rearranged gives 'HOSPITALITY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hospitality that I've seen before include "Readiness to welcome guests" , "Cordial entertainment of guests" , "Kindness in welcoming guests" .)
