[wp-hackers] query_posts orderby=meta_value

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can tell me: according to this page in the codex:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts in the section "Orderby
Parameters" I should be able to order the resulting posts from a custom
query (orderby=meta_value - Note: A meta_key=keyname must also be present in
the query. )
So for example I would have a query with the following parameters:
"post_type=page&posts_per_page=5&meta_key=order" and then I would specify
the meta_value=
And thats where it breaks down for me as If I specify a specific meta_value
how exactly would ordering be achieved? if all the posts ahd the same
meta_value wouldn't the ordering just fall back to default?
I am sure I am just not grasping what's happening correctly and would
welcome anyone's help in getting my thick head round this.
Thanks!
Ash
