Module sort 

Sort order specification for Iceberg tables

This module defines the sort ordering capabilities of Iceberg tables, including:

• Sort direction (ascending/descending)
• Null ordering (nulls first/last)
• Sort fields that specify which columns to sort by
• Sort order specifications that combine multiple sort fields

Sort orders are used to:

• Optimize data layout for efficient querying
• Support range predicates and partition pruning
• Enable merge-on-read operations
