Hmm, apparently in some cases it does nothing currently due to a bug,
I've just fixed this buy, so please pull the latest Org-mode, and try
copying the following block and results into and Org-mode buffer and
calling C-c C-o from within the code block.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (mapcar #'list (reverse (org-babel-src-block-names)))
#+end_src

#+results:

| tangle-C                        |
