Comment:

 @jnylen0 If I understand correctly the intended behavior is to return the
 results in the same order as the include array (even if this input array
 isn’t sorted), by default. For example, if include=2,5,1 we should get the
 posts in this order: 2,5,1. When adding order=asc, the order should be the
 same as that in the include array (ex. 2,5,1). If we add order=desc, the
 order should be the reverse of the include array (ex 1,5,2).

 Do I have this right? Happy to update the tests if this is not correct!
 The tests are failing right now, as the posts are returned in a sorted
 array even if the include array isn’t sorted. As well, the default
 behavior (when order is omitted) mimics desc order, not asc.
