unfrocks

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

'one throws out of order?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'fun throwing stones' is the wordplay.
'throwing' indicates anagramming the letters (letters get thrown around).
'stones' becomes 'rocks' ('rock' can be a synonym of 'stone').
'fun' with letters rearranged gives 'unf'.
'unf'+'rocks'='UNFROCKS'

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unfrocks that I've seen before include "Of priest, dismisses from office" , "Deprives (priest) of holy orders" .)

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