Comments on the clue
1.Made, ordered, sold or ordered, made, sold would be more natural.
2.'Ordered, made, sold' would be more logical
3.Lovely concise idea, but unfortunately the surface reading does not quite make sense – surely the order comes before the sale?
4.Would have given marks if it had been Greek delicacies – ordered, made, sold.
5.OK clue but hardly likely to rise above the crowd – many entrants would have considered this anagram (e.g. I did )
