## Annotation Type QuerySqlField.Group

-     @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
       @Target(value={METHOD,FIELD})
      public static @interface QuerySqlField.Group

  Describes group of index and position of field in this group.

  Opposite to `QuerySqlField.groups()` this annotation gives control over order of fields in a group index. This can be needed in scenarios when we have a query like `select * from X where a = ? and b = ? order by b desc`. If we have index `(a asc, b asc)` sorting on `b` will be performed. Here it is preferable to have index `(b desc, a asc)` which will still allow query to search on index using both fields and avoid sorting because index is already sorted in needed way.
