GitHub user aicam added a comment to the discussion: disallowing sorting on 
binary type

My understanding is both of the perspectives are right:
- @carloea2 is correct because sorting binary and bytes are meaningless and 
user may end up using the operator in wrong way
- @aglinxinyuan is correct because we should not intervene in user experience 
and give them full flexibility
my suggestion is when user select an attribute that is binary, we show them a 
small warning like this:
``` The selected attribute is binary type and will be sorted as bytes ```
