c2c custom fields plugin and $order variable

I’ve left a question at the author’s site, but no answer as yet…

Does anyone know if

1) the $order variable for c2c_get_custom or c2c_get_recent_custom works?

2) or, how can I sort the returned values for c2c_get_custom (or recent, if that is what I have to use) to return either in order of adding or alphabetically?

I ask because in my research, $order, which supposedly works for the c2c_get_recent_custom() function, doesn’t, as far as I can tell. It certainly doesn’t return values in order of entry, either desc or asc and I tried even adding numbers at the beginning of the data to force an order and that doesn’t work either . Changing the $order to ASC has absolutely no effect at all.

I added numbers (see http://impart.n2webdev.com/knowledge/) to the list of data entries and you can easily see that they are in no order at all (and use the same order whether the $order value = DESC or ASC)

I’d love to hear from someone/anyone with a solution or insight into what I might be doing incorrectly…
