$order = "Model.field ASC";
$order = "Model.field DESC";
$order = array("Model.field" => "asc", "Model.field2" => "DESC");
  1. $order = "field"
  2. $order = "Model.field";
  3. $order = "Model.field asc";
  4. $order = "Model.field ASC";
  5. $order = "Model.field DESC";
  6. $order = array("Model.field" => "asc", "Model.field2" => "DESC");
