I am also having the same issue - changing the ordering in the module to display acsending or decsending does nothing.
If there is a fix for this issue, it would be greatly appreciated if it could be shared in the forum rather than just fixing it for someone and saying 'it is now fixed' - as this really defeats the purpose of having a forum for others to see the answer.
Direct fixes be developers should be on a ticketing system, the forum should have public answers so others can use the fix if they encounter the problem.
