New MultiBlog Feature: Default Includes

MultiBlog has a new per-blog configuration option: default includes.

Basically, it really comes in handy for a site like mine where I have a few blogs being pulled together into one. Every time a tag like MTMultiBlogEntries is used in a template, I would normally need to use the include_blogs attribute to define which blogs over and over again. Not any more! Now you can, as Ron Popeil says, "Set it and forget it." Simply put that list of blog ids in the default includes configuration option, and whenever one of the MultiBlog tags is used that requires the include_blogs attribute, the default values will be used.

Note that you can override this default value by using the include_blogs or exclude_blogs attributes.

so, ok !
first i will say thank you for this plugin, it's really easy to used but i found a tiny point. (french english ? :-))
I want to select from all the posts (multiblog) the ones that will only be categorized as "HOME",but when i do :"<MTMultiBlogEntries days="2" categories="HOME"" it works but on site view my posts are sort order by blogs date creation, i want (on site view) sort my posts by publish date.

have you got any solutions ?
