 =head1 ORDER BY CLAUSES
 
 Some functions take an order by clause. This can either be a scalar (just a
-column name,) a hash of C<< { -desc => 'col' } >> or C<< { -asc => 'col' } >>,
-or an array of either of the two previous forms. Examples:
-
-               Given            |         Will Generate
-    ----------------------------------------------------------
-                                |
-    \'colA DESC'                | ORDER BY colA DESC
-                                |
-    'colA'                      | ORDER BY colA
-                                |
-    [qw/colA colB/]             | ORDER BY colA, colB
-                                |
