mt:MutliBlog plugin - sort order

Here is the code I was trying

<mt:MultiBlog include_blogs="4,5,6" sort_order="descend">
   <div class="item">
	<mt:Entries lastn="1" tag="NOT pre-pub">
	<h3><a href="<$mt:EntryPermalink$>"><mt:EntryTitle></a></h3>
	<p class="byline">by <mt:Var name="blogAuthor"></p>
	<p><mt:EntryExcerpt></p>
	</mt:Entries>
   </div>
</mt:MultiBlog>

Put the "include_blogs" etc. on mt:Entries. Just let mt:MultiBlog stand by itself.

Thanks for the response shenews. I tried that and sort_order still had no effect on the output. Here is the new code

<mt:MultiBlog>
   <mt:Entries lastn="1" include_blogs="5,4,6,9,8" sort_order="descend">
   <mt:Include module="Blog Settings">
   <div class="blogroll_item">
	<div class="text">
		<h5><mt:BlogName></h5>
		<h3><a href="<$mt:EntryPermalink$>"><mt:EntryTitle></a></h3>
		<p class="byline">by <mt:Var name="blogAuthor"></p>
		<p><mt:EntryExcerpt words="40"></p>
		<a href="<$mt:EntryPermalink$>" class="read_more">Read Full Story &raquo;</a>
	</div>
	<div style="clear:both;"></div>
   </div>
   </mt:Entries>
</mt:MultiBlog>

Lastn should be displaying them in the order of most recently published. (I believe lastn cancels sort order, as it is an order all by itself.)

What order do you want them in?

I want to get the last post from each blog, sorted in descending order.

Okay, sorry, I misunderstood. This was asked and never answered on the old blogs: http://forums.sixapart.com/index.php?showtopic=65519

It seems it will sort by blog ids or by the latest posts from among all those blogs, but not the one latest from each blog in chronological order.

Yeah, I saw the unanswered post from the old forums too, I thought a new topic might spark an answer.

Thank you for replying, I guess Ill look into another option
