      # Don't use the `id` column for ordering. The sequence of ids is not guaranteed
      # to be in any particular order, despite often (incidentally) being chronological.
      # Use a timestamp column to order chronologically. As a bonus the intent is clearer.
      #
      # NOTE: Make sure the changed order column does not introduce performance
      # bottlenecks and appropriate database indexes are added.
      #
      # @example
      #   # bad
      #   scope :chronological, -> { order(id: :asc) }
      #   scope :chronological, -> { order(primary_key => :asc) }

      #   # good
      #   scope :chronological, -> { order(created_at: :asc) }
