Request sequence (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

order

I believe this is a double definition.

'request' is the first definition.
(an order is a request from someone in authority)

'sequence' is the second definition.
(I know that sequence is a more specific form of the action order)

(Other definitions for order that I've seen before include "Reserved goods" , "pattern" , "Directive for harmony" , "demanding firm discipline" , "Command or written direction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
