> {{DataSet.partitionByRange()}} does not allow to specify the sort order of fields. This is fine if range partitioning is used to reduce skewed partitioning. 
> However, it is not sufficient if range partitioning is used to sort a data set in parallel. 
> Since {{DataSet.partitionByRange()}} is {{@Public}} API and cannot be easily changed, I propose to add a method {{withOrders(Order... orders)}} to {{PartitionOperator}}. The method should throw an exception if the partitioning method of {{PartitionOperator}} is not range partitioning.
