Record order keeps creating misgivings (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

discomforts

'misgivings' is the definition.

'record order keeps' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'disc' ('disc' can be a synonym of 'record').
'order' becomes 'om' (order of merit).
'keeps' becomes 'forts'.
'disc'+'om'+'forts'='DISCOMFORTS'

'creating' is the link.
