orderBy() public method

You can call orderBy multiple times. Each call will add a column to order by. Example: $q->select( '*' )->from( 'table' ) ->orderBy( 'id' );
public orderBy ( string $column, string $type = self::ASC ) : eZ\Publish\Core\Persistence\Database\SelectQuery
$column string a column name in the result set
$type string if the column should be sorted ascending or descending. you can specify this using \eZ\Publish\Core\Persistence\Database\SelectQuerySelect::ASC or \eZ\Publish\Core\Persistence\Database\SelectQuerySelect::DESC
return eZ\Publish\Core\Persistence\Database\SelectQuery a pointer to $this

     // @todo Review needed
     // The following line was added because without it, loading sub user groups through the Public API
     // fails with the database error "Unknown column sort_column_0". The change does not break any
     // integration tests or legacy persistence tests, but it can break something else, so review is needed
