dbunit maven plugin ordered set to true seemingly ignores tables

Question

I am trying to export a portion of my db using the db-unit-maven plugin. I set the ordered flag set to true in my configuration so that I can re-import it avoiding integrity constraint violation. I also specify what tables to export using the tables element inside the configuration. I pasted below an example of what I am trying to do. However, it exports additional tables that are unrelated in terms of constraints to those manually selected in the configuration. Does <ordered>true</order> cause the list to be ignored? What am I missing?

It turns out the syntax is wrong. The original pasted above returns a NullPointerException the correct syntax is pasted below and, as far as I can tell, it behaves as expected.
