             Summary: New order with multiple order-by columns
                 Key: SYSTEMML-2007
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYSTEMML-2007
             Project: SystemML
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Matthias Boehm


There are multiple use cases, where users have to emulate an order with multiple order-by columns as follows (which works due to stable sort):
{code}
X = order(target=X, by=3, ...)
X = order(target=X, by=2, ...)
X = order(target=X, by=1, ...)
{code}

This causes unnecessary overhead by sorting the dataset in the number of order-by columns. Hence, this task aims to support an order function that allows both scalar and matrix {{by}} parameters.
