I'm not sure if Bioperl handles the order() operator?

For those unfamilair with the order() operator:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/collab/FT/#3.5.2

order(location,location, ... location)
The elements can be found in the specified order (5' to 3' direction),
but nothing is implied about the reasonableness about joining them.
