sort_by() is a method of results but order_by() is not -- did you mean sort_by, and do you think we also need order_by?

If you think people will try order_by(), should we have it show a message to use sort_by()?

One drawback of the current version of sort_by() is that you have to append it for each column that you want to sort by.

I think order_by() should refer to the order of the columns in the table. But this could also be handled by the select() method.
