order-by.R

#' A helper function for ordering window function output
#'
#' This function makes it possible to control the ordering of window functions
#' in R that don't have a specific ordering parameter. When translated to SQL
#' it will modify the order clause of the OVER function.
#'
#' This function works by changing the `call` to instead call
#' [with_order()] with the appropriate arguments.
#'
#' @param order_by a vector to order_by
#' @param call a function call to a window function, where the first argument
#'   is the vector being operated on
#' @export
#' @examples
#' order_by(10:1, cumsum(1:10))
#' x <- 10:1
#' y <- 1:10
#' order_by(x, cumsum(y))
#'
#' df <- data.frame(year = 2000:2005, value = (0:5) ^ 2)
#' scrambled <- df[sample(nrow(df)), ]
#'
#' wrong <- mutate(scrambled, running = cumsum(value))
#' arrange(wrong, year)
#'
#' right <- mutate(scrambled, running = order_by(year, cumsum(value)))
#' arrange(right, year)
