'absolutely ok' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'on pier reapplied rigs' is the wordplay.
'rigs' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'rigged' mean this).
'on'+'pier'+'reapplied'='onpierreapplied'
'onpierreapplied' with letters rearranged gives 'IN APPLE-PIE ORDER'.

'now' acts as a link.
