DBIx::Custom::Order - Order by EXPERIMENTAL

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # Result
    my $order = DBIx::Custom::Order->new;
    $order->prepend('title', 'author desc');
    my $order_by = "$order";
    

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

=head2 C<orders>

    my $orders = $result->orders;
    $result = $result->orders(\%orders);

Parts of order by clause

=head1 METHODS

L<DBIx::Custom::Result> inherits all methods from L<Object::Simple>
and implements the following new ones.

=head2 C<prepend>

    $order->prepend('title', 'author desc');

Prepend order parts to C<orders>.

You can pass array reference, which contain column name and direction.
Column name is quoted properly
    
    # Column name and direction
    $order->prepend(['book-title']);
    $order->prepend([qw/book-title desc/]);

This is expanded to the following way.

    "book-title"
    "book-title" desc

=head2 C<to_string>

    my $order_by = $order->to_string;

Create order by clause. If column name is duplicated, First one is used.
C<to_string> override stringification. so you can write the follwoing way.

    my $order_by = "$order";
