Adjust as right number put in order (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

straighten

'put in order' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'adjust as right number' is the wordplay.
'adjust' is an anagram indicator.
'number' becomes 'ten' (ten is a kind of number).
'as'+'right'='asright'
'asright' anagrammed gives 'straigh'.
'straigh'+'ten'='STRAIGHTEN'

(Other definitions for straighten that I've seen before include "Remove bends from (something)" , "Get in line" , "Shattering (anag) - unbend" , "put in alignment?" , "Unbend, align" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
