well, it doesn't necessarily order the partitions in the same way as e.g. 
rEFIt gptsync does, but that's because this GRUB implementation gives you more 
control!  You can even pick different MBR-partition-configurations, before 
booting different OSes.

At least Mac OS X 10.3 and earlier don't understand GPT, and it actually makes 
a difference with Apple's "target disk mode"!  And there may be a few other 
combinations.
