Comment:

 The diff I've just added lets you add more than one 'order', space
 separated, to queries that have more than one 'orderby'. If you add three
 'orderby' statements and 2 'order' then the 3rd 'orderby' will have the
 first 'order'. If you were to add a fourth 'orderby' and leave the 'order'
 at 2 then the 4th 'orderby' would have the 2nd 'order'.

 eg.

 get_posts( array( 'orderby' => 'menu_order title', 'order' => 'DESC ASC'
 );
 Would sort by descending menu_order and ascending alphabetic title order.

 get_posts( array( 'orderby' => 'menu_order title date', 'order' => 'DESC
 ASC' );
 Would sort by descending menu_order and ascending alphabetic title order
 and descending date. Same as adding 'order' => 'DESC ASC DESC'
