get_post orderby not working in plugin

You don’t get any ordering, because you are making multiple get_posts() calls and only retrieve a single post in each of them. You cannot order a single post. 🙂

You need to get rid of outermost loop and just pass a set of IDs (that would be your $instance['data']) to retrieve via single get_posts() call.
