+# This Sequel extension adds a default ORDER BY id to model queries.
+#
+# It skips adding the default order when:
+# - Query already has an explicit ORDER BY clause
+# - Query has GROUP BY (aggregated results don't have individual ids)
+# - Query is schema introspection (LIMIT 0)
+# - Query has UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT (ORDER BY before UNION is a syntax error)
+# - Query has DISTINCT ON (requires matching ORDER BY)
+# - Query is a subquery (outer query handles ordering)
+# - Model doesn't have id as primary key
+# - id is not in the select list
+#
+# For JOIN queries (including many_to_many associations), it uses a qualified
+# column (table.id) to avoid ambiguity.
+#
+# This ensures deterministic query results, which is important for:
+# - Consistent API responses
+# - Reliable test behavior (especially in parallel test runs)
+#
+# Usage:
