Rogue heartlessly dictates orders (6)
I believe the answer is:
edicts
'orders' is the definition.
('edict' can be a synonym of 'order')
'rogue heartlessly dictates' is the wordplay.
'rogue' is an anagram indicator (letters go rogue).
'heartlessly' suggests removing the centre.
'dictates' with its centre removed is 'dictes'.
'dictes' anagrammed gives 'EDICTS'.
(Other definitions for edicts that I've seen before include "Commands" , "Official orders and decrees" , "Proclamation" , "Official orders from authorities" , "Orders proclaimed by an authority" .)
