How do I make Orion NPM ignore that some OID values are returned not in increasing order?

I have an issue with a custom poller being run against a Check Point firewall. The values being returned are not in increasing OID order e.g.

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.500.9002.1.2.10.213.n.n.n = STRING: "VPN1"          <- returned

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.500.9002.1.2.213.78.n.n.n = STRING: "VPN2"          <- returned

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.500.9002.1.2.109.104.n.n.n = STRING: "VPN3"        <- not returned nor are the other values after this.

Interestingly Solarwinds UnDP handles the out of sequence OIDs and returns all 20 values but when Orion NPM tries to poll the Check Point box it only returns the first two values as the third is out of sequence.

Is there a way that I can make Orion NPM ignore the fact that the OIDs returned are not in increasing order?

For Net-SNMP you can add a -Cc switch to the SNMP get command which tells it to ignore the fact that OID values aren't returned in increasing order.

I am running Orion Core 2012.2.1, SAM 5.2.0 SP1, NCM 7.1.1, NPM 10.4.1, NTA 3.10.0, IVIM 1.5.0

Thanks in advance, Andy
