11.5 Table CRUD Functions

TableSelectFunction

Table.select() and collection.find() use different methods for sorting results. Table.select() follows the SQL language naming and calls the sort method orderBy(). Collection.find() does not. Use the method sort() to sort the results returned by Collection.find(). Proximity with the SQL standard is considered more important than API uniformity here.
