Legible order for bread and ale (8)
I believe the answer is:
readable
'legible' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'order for bread and ale' is the wordplay.
'order for' indicates an anagram.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'bread' after 'ale' is 'alebread'.
'alebread' anagrammed gives 'READABLE'.
(Other definitions for readable that I've seen before include "Legible" , "can be studied" , "books should at least be this?" , "okay as literature" , "Describing text" .)
