Use the"sort" directive to order rows of data by values in selected columns.

For instance, to sort the "Customer" worksheet rows by "Last name" descending with ties broken by "First name" ascending, place the following directive in a comment in the "OrderedByLastName" worksheet.

pebblestream:from(Customer)
pebblestream:sort("Last name":desc, "First name":asc, ...)
