   The CLUSTERED BY and SORTED BY creation commands do not affect how data is 
inserted into a table – only how it is read. This means that users must be 
careful to insert data correctly by specifying the number of reducers to be 
equal to the number of buckets, and using CLUSTER BY and SORT BY commands in 
their query.

   @okumin, this PR intends to add support for Iceberg sorted tables, same as 
in a trino link you've added. I do not really like that we have to create new 
syntax for that. 
   `SORTED BY` kinda makes sense, but it would be overloaded for Iceberg since 
it would be used to specify data insert order.
   
   Spark only supports 
[alter-table-write-ordered-by](https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/1.7.0/spark-ddl/#alter-table-write-ordered-by)
 to define the write order. 
   
   Maybe we could have a combination of ALTER + Trino table properties styles?
