Articles plugin "start" parameter not working (and not documented)

Apparent bug of undocumented feature within the ARTICLESplugin, such that the "start" parameter does not seem to function.

In the example below, This was coded into the body of a wiki page. I was trying to have two ARTICLES columns, but show the first 5 (or so) articles on the left of the wiki page, then continue with articles 6 thru (say) 10 on the right column of the split wiki page.

Gary (chibaguy) suggested the code below (including the "start" parameter), but it appears that I get identical lists of articles, rather than one column listing articles 1 thru 5, and another parallel one listing articles 6 thru 10 (as expected). "Start" doesn't appear to be documented, but Gary chibaguy suggested it's use to me.

{SPLIT()}
{ARTICLES(start=1,max=5)}{ARTICLES}
---
{ARTICLES(start=6,max=10)}{ARTICLES}
{SPLIT}

Gary suggested that I submit this as a bug, so this is it. It would be awesome to be able to do a two column split of articles via the inline plug, but not when the lists are identical.

Thanks to you for looking into this!!! -sd
