ragtag

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

'mob?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'would prank get label for a disorderly' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'prank' could be 'rag' (rag is a kind of prank) and 'rag' is found in the answer.
'label' could be 'tag' (tag is a kind of label) and 'tag' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ragtag that I've seen before include "Masses" , "Untidy, disorganised" , "Scruffy" , "Disreputable group of people" , "hoi polloi" .)

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