Document arrayrefref (\[...]) form for order_by

Amended by committer to also mention it and the scalarref form in the
introductory paragraph, and move the scalarref form further down the
table of examples.

 =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:
+column name), a hashref of C<< { -desc => 'col' } >> or C<< { -asc => 'col' }
+>>, a scalarref, an arrayref-ref, or an arrayref of any of the previous
+forms. Examples:
