Comment(by jakemgold):
Nacin - I don't understand your feedback.
You don't need to change the default behavior of "in". I would simply
recommend adding a new "orderby" option that - under the right
circumstances - allows the user to retrieve the posts in the specified
order. My plugin adds a "post in" orderby option, but you could probably
use a more friendly value like "specified".
"not_in" is irrelevant, since your can't "order" excluded posts.
This could be done with two new lines of code in the orderby case
statement, and would not break anything (a patch I'll be happy to submit).
It's hard for me to imagine WordPress evolving as a full featured CMS
without the ability to retrieve a list of posts in a specifically desired
order.
