Puts in order that's consumed in empty Nando's (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neatens

'puts in order' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'consumed in empty nando's' is the wordplay.
'consumed' becomes 'eaten' (similar in meaning).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'empty' suggests removing the centre.
'nandos' with its centre removed is 'ns'.
'eaten' put within 'ns' is 'NEATENS'.

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for neatens that I've seen before include "Cleans up" , "Makes less 9" , "Tidies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
