Oh don't feel sorry at all, it's good to hear some feedback. We don't get a lot of it with the Python client / docs, so don't be shy to say what is confusing or flat out wrong. I can always figure out who wrote it initially and go chide them. ;)
The "orderby uploaded" thing has been a rather glaring problem for some time now, so I do hope we can fix it in the near future.
