Kind request (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

order

I believe this is a double definition.

'kind' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'request' is the second definition.
(ordering is a kind of requesting)

(Other definitions for order that I've seen before include "Uniformity or fraternity" , "Issue a command" , "an answer to all clues, initially" , "architectural style" , "Edict, command" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
