Ordering by a Single Column

To sort the result output by a field, we use the .order_by() method. By default, the .order_by() method sorts from lowest to highest on the supplied column. You just have to pass in the name of the column you want sorted to .order_by(). In the video, for example, Jason used stmt.order_by(census.columns.state) to sort the result output by the state column.
