The orderBy field provides the functionality to sort and limit the set of results from a groupBy query. Available options are:
### DefaultLimitSpec
The default limit spec takes a limit and the list of columns to do an orderBy operation over. The grammar is:
{
"type" : "default",
"limit" : ,
"columns" : [list of OrderByColumnSpec],
}
#### OrderByColumnSpec
OrderByColumnSpecs indicate how to do order by operations. Each order by condition can be a String
or a map of the following form:
{
"dimension" : "",
"direction" : "ASCENDING OR DESCENDING"
}
