<dd><p>Character vector. Variables to order records by before they
are returned. Most, though not all, variables can be used to order records
before they are returned. Ordering is ascending by default. To return in
descending order append a <code>-</code> to the front of the variable (e.g.,
<code>"-date_start"</code>). Default order is <code>"-date_start"</code> &gt; <code>"-load_date"</code> &gt;
<code>"reported_name"</code> &gt; <code>"record_id"</code>.</p></dd>
