A sort specification.

The SQL ORDER BY clause accepts expressions based on Field, which may be enhanced by ASC or DESC as well as NULLS FIRST or NULLS LAST.

Example: 

 // Assuming import static org.jooq.impl.DSL.*;

 using(configuration)
    .select(ACTOR.FIRST_NAME, ACTOR.LAST_NAME)
    .from(ACTOR)
    .orderBy(ACTOR.LAST_UPDATE.desc().nullsLast())
    .fetch();

Instances can be created using Field.asc(), Field.desc() and related methods.
