WP_Query Order by Taxonomy

Description

To be able to order by a taxonomy for any post type.

Added:

'orderby' => 'tax'
'tax_name' => 'taxonomy_name'

This way you can sort the post by the Term->name (ASC/DESC) value.

It was something needed in one of my projects and thought the WP community might like it.

Not going to happen in Core. Here's a thorough explanation from Otto:
