Research direction

Start from the Table(dataSource, "table_name", arrayOf(Order.asc("created"))) entry point and compare it with the documented primary-key sorting behavior. Trace how the specified field is handled for modifications, then verify that changes are ordered by the requested field and add coverage where the repository's existing tests for this API reside.

Description

My table has a primary key, but it doesn't fit because it has a type UUID. So the changes is sorted randomly.

Is there any function to set sorting on any other field? If not, can you add?

I tried like below code, it doesn't work:

Table(dataSource, "table_name", arrayOf(Order.asc("created")))...
