Are ordered file placement & File Placement Rules Mutually Exclusive?

Question

I just added a new disk to my pool.

I moved the handful of folders that all need to be on one disk (music, photos, etc. -- things I don't want sprawled across multiple disks) to the new disk.

Then I installed the ordered file placement plugin, attempting to have drivepool fill this new disk last.

(Basically, I want to save the new disk for the contiguous folders for as long as possible -- since drivepool's default behavior would be to fill this new disk, first.)

It seems that checking the 'file placement rules respect real-time file placement limits' box breaks my file-placement rules, but ordered placement works.

Unchecking this box causes my file placement rules to work again, but ordered file placement is no longer respected, and it starts filling my new disk again.

 

Am I doing something wrong? Or is that just the way it is?

I can work around this in other (manual) ways, but the ordered file placement plugin seemed like a nice hands-off solution.
