//! Sort pushdown types for physical execution plans.

//! down through the execution plan tree to data sources.

/// Result of attempting to push down sort ordering to a node.
///
/// Used by [`ExecutionPlan::try_pushdown_sort`] to communicate
/// whether and how sort ordering was successfully pushed down.

    /// When this is returned, the optimizer can safely remove the Sort operator
    /// entirely since the data source guarantees the requested ordering.

        inner: T,

    /// based on statistics, enabled reverse scanning) but the data may not be perfectly
    /// sorted. The optimizer should keep the Sort operator but benefits from the
    /// optimization (e.g., faster TopK queries due to early termination).
