Orders are sent from Asia (7)
I believe the answer is:
eastern
'from asia' is the definition.
(Asia is in the east)
'orders are sent' is the wordplay.
'orders' indicates anagramming the letters.
'are'+'sent'='aresent'
'aresent' with letters rearranged gives 'EASTERN'.
(Other definitions for eastern that I've seen before include "Earnest (anag.)" , "See 11" , "Could be Chinese" , "from afar" , "towards daybreak?" .)
