Key level index

In the "CassandraLimitations" wiki it states:

" Cassandra has two levels of indexes: key and column"

I understand how the column and subcolumn indexes work but can someone 
explain to me how the key level index works?

Rows are sorted as UTF8 strings in 0.6 and byte[] in 0.7.  That's it.
