Comments on the clue
1.Cryptic reading doesn't work gramatically.
2.Not a full &lit. as 'This Cromwellian' is not part of the wordplay.
3.Liked this one. Second favourite.
4.Good one, though is not very Ximenean, given the way the anagrind 'order' appears in the clue.
5.Not an &lit as claimed: "This Cromwellian" plays no part in the s.i. and is there solely to produce a valid definition.
