Remove "original.order" from metadata / reorderHorizons() now req…

…uires `target.order`

 - only was used for `reorderHorizons()` which is rarely needed or used
 - holdover from ideas on how to implement alternate profile sorting methods (i.e. not dependent on alpha sorting of profile ID + top depth)
