Implement Advanced Taxonomy Terms Order plugin sorting for the Portfolio ONLY?

I have purchased the Advanced Taxonomy Terms Order plugin as has been advised in these forums so that I can manually change the display order of the categories in a portfolio grid. I have searched the forum and not found an answer.

Here is the problem that I am running into: When I switch the Auto-Sort ON, it sorts my portfolio categories perfectly, but it breaks all of my Latest News widgets and Blog Posts content elements. If I switch it OFF, then the manual sorting does not take effect.

In the documentation for the plugin I find these instructions:

To retrieve the terms per customized sorting, you must use the term_order on the orderby parameter:

gv = array(
                'orderby'       =>  'term_order',
                'hide_empty'    => false
                );
get_terms('category', $argv);

So far I have been unsuccessful in implementing this. I tried using the information found here: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/change-the-sort-order-of-portfolio-elements/ by substituting ‘term_order’ in the code, but that changes the order that the individual items appear, not the order of the portfolio categories.

Please help me figure out how to get this working.
