tedzio on "[Plugin: WP Calendar] orderdir="desc" not working?"

I too have a problem with orderdir. I want to show my events in reverse chronological order. I've tried different combinations of suggestions I found on this and other forums. I'm running WP-Calendar 1.5.0 on Wordpress 3.4.2. My 'tsfrom' entries are NULL as in Ted's case above. I've tried 'orderby' => 'from' and 'orderby' => array('from') and it doesn't seem to work, however, if I use 'orderdir' => 'eventid' it works, which could suggest there's a problem somewhere in the date handling. Or maybe I'm missing something. Any help appreciated.

echo fse_print_events(array(
			'number' => 6,
      			'datefrom' => mktime(23,59,59,1,1,2010),
      			'orderby' => 'from',
      			'orderdir' => 'DESC',
      			'categories' => 5,
      			'pagination' => 1,
      			'before' => '<div id="back_issues_wrap">',
      			'after' => '<div class="clear_float"></div></div>',
      			'template' => '<div class="back_issue">{event_subject}<br />{event_description}</div>'));
