I tried too, and cannot get that property to work.  This is what I do:

octave> plot([1:2]',[1:10;1:10]);

I get ten horizontal lines, the bottom one is blue, then green, then
red, the eighth line is blue again, as expected.

octave> set(gca,"colororder",flipud(get(gca,"colororder")));

This changes nothing.  Unexpected, but maybe I need ot do this *before*
the plot command?

octave> plot([1:2]',[1:10;1:10]);

Nothing changes :(

Trying to set the "colororder" property in the plot command itself
generates an error:

octave> plot([1:2]',[1:10;1:10],"colororder",rainbow(10));
error: get: unknown line property colororder


This is Octave 3.8.1 on Debian with the gnuplot toolkit.

Bottom line is: how does one ues the colororder property?
