 It is currently not possible to order by wp_postmeta.meta_id during a meta
 query. This would be useful because it allows rows to return in the order
 they were inserted into the table.

 A real use case example is where a custom field plugin exposes a multiple
 "Add item" mechanism with the option to reorder them. Pods for example
 does this with their relationship type field with multiple selection and
 reordering. The meta data is then inserted in to the postmeta table in the
 desired order.
