Daughter is commanded to be untidy (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disordered

'be untidy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'daughter is commanded' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'commanded' becomes 'ordered' (I've seen this in another clue).
'd'+'is'+'ordered'='DISORDERED'

'to' acts as a link.

(Another definition for disordered that I've seen is " Confused, untidy".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
