What problem does this address?
It's currently difficult to keep RSS feed order as specified by source, as SimplePie reorders it by date.
RSS block can't be used for feeds showing future events, like concerts, meetups, etc.
Maybe just ordering in a reverse way as the wordpress.com shortcode option has.
What is your proposed solution?
Using a button on the block options to "order like source" or "reverse order" would be nice.
This option will add the $rss->enable_order_by_date(false); after SimplePie object initialization and the items on the feed will be ordered as they come and not by date.
Or maybe a function to reverse order.
