To do this:

db().select(db.person.ALL,orderby=˜db.person.name|db.
person.id)

It would be better to do this:

db().select(db.person.ALL,orderby=[˜db.person.name,db.
person.id])

Of course this would still work:

db().select(db.person.ALL,orderby=˜db.person.name)

It would be converted to this internally:

db().select(db.person.ALL,orderby=[˜db.person.name])

The benefits of orderby=[...] are that you can more easily add, remove
or toggle a sort order, not to mention parsing the orderby=[...] in a
driver becomes trivial.

Downsides?
