Narrative:
Upon checking in with orlando executive tower at 15 DME on the runway 7 localizer, was advised by tower to continue and report 4 DME. At approximately 8 DME, was advised by tower that a king air was passing me off my right wing. I was at 1400 ft and approximately 500 ft below a scattered cloud layer and reported not seeing the traffic (looking). At approximately 5 DME was cleared to land #2 behind the king air. I replied 'cleared to land #2.' I then advised tower that I did not have the king air in sight. At that time the tower said the king air was at my altitude and position and I spotted the king air approximately 200 ft off my 'left' wing and my altitude. At that time I advised tower that I was executing a 360 degree turn with permission to rejoin the localizer final for runway 7. Tower was confused, they thought I had reported the traffic, when I had not. Tower then cleared me to land #2 again behind a piper seneca which was now on a left base for runway 7. As I was slowing the spacing apparently was not going to work out and the tower advised me to turn left for a right base to runway 13 and cleared me to land. This was at approximately 1 mi (DME).

Title: C210 ACFT ON APCH AND INSTRUCTED TO FOLLOW ACFT WHICH RPTR COULDN'T SEE. WHEN SEEING THE OTHER ACFT RPTR TOLD TWR HE WOULD MAKE A 360 DEG TURN FOR SPACING AND TWR PUT ANOTHER ACFT IN FRONT OF HIM, FINALLY CLRING RPTR TO LAND ON ANOTHER RWY.
Narrative: UPON CHKING IN WITH ORLANDO EXECUTIVE TWR AT 15 DME ON THE RWY 7 LOC, WAS ADVISED BY TWR TO CONTINUE AND RPT 4 DME. AT APPROX 8 DME, WAS ADVISED BY TWR THAT A KING AIR WAS PASSING ME OFF MY R WING. I WAS AT 1400 FT AND APPROX 500 FT BELOW A SCATTERED CLOUD LAYER AND RPTED NOT SEEING THE TFC (LOOKING). AT APPROX 5 DME WAS CLRED TO LAND #2 BEHIND THE KING AIR. I REPLIED 'CLRED TO LAND #2.' I THEN ADVISED TWR THAT I DID NOT HAVE THE KING AIR IN SIGHT. AT THAT TIME THE TWR SAID THE KING AIR WAS AT MY ALT AND POS AND I SPOTTED THE KING AIR APPROX 200 FT OFF MY 'L' WING AND MY ALT. AT THAT TIME I ADVISED TWR THAT I WAS EXECUTING A 360 DEG TURN WITH PERMISSION TO REJOIN THE LOC FINAL FOR RWY 7. TWR WAS CONFUSED, THEY THOUGHT I HAD RPTED THE TFC, WHEN I HAD NOT. TWR THEN CLRED ME TO LAND #2 AGAIN BEHIND A PIPER SENECA WHICH WAS NOW ON A L BASE FOR RWY 7. AS I WAS SLOWING THE SPACING APPARENTLY WAS NOT GOING TO WORK OUT AND THE TWR ADVISED ME TO TURN L FOR A R BASE TO RWY 13 AND CLRED ME TO LAND. THIS WAS AT APPROX 1 MI (DME).
