Comment (by boonebgorges):

 jkudish - `order` does not appear to be an argument, but a piece of legacy
 code that does nothing. I'll have to do more research into it, but in any
 case it's something that appears to have been broken for a long time.

 I've attached a first pass at `order` and `orderby` support for
 `bp_has_groups()` and the associated stack. Most of it is pretty
 straightforward, but there are a few items to note:

 - In the database class, I've added a few utility methods that convert the
 existing `type` parameter into `order` and `orderby`. When it exists,
 `type` always supercedes `order` and `orderby` - this is primarily for
 backpat, and it also makes `type` useful as a sort of shorthand for
 certain useful combinations of `order` and `orderby`.
 - I've removed the logic in `bp_has_groups()` that sets a default `type`
 of 'active'. This is necessary so that it's possible to actually use
 `order` and `orderby` without also manually setting `type` to false.
 Backward compatibility is maintained, because I made the default values of
 `order` and `orderby` functionally equivalent to `type = active`.

 I've written a number of tests to ensure the new functionality, and to
 make sure that the old behaviors related to the default value of `type`
 continue to work as expected.

 Since this passes all the tests, I'd like to get it into trunk soon (so I
 can start using it, eg, to make columns sortable by ASC and DESC in the
 group admin), but I welcome feedback on the patch first.
