 get_post_meta does not always return data in the same order when returning
 an array of all meta values for a given key.

 Expected outcome: I expect the order to remain the same every time this
 data is retrieved.

 This usually returns data in the correct order but it is not guaranteed as
 the SQL query in the update_meta_cache function does not explicitly order
 by anything.

 I propose that meta data should be explicitly ordered by meta_id.

 I have a patch if this is considered a but
