    [dbview name=’world cities’ sort=city order=asc]</p>
<p>Show the ‘world cities’ view initially sorted by column ‘population’ in descending order.<br />
    [dbview name=’world cities’ sort=population order=desc]</p>
<p>Show the ‘world cities’ view without any pagination.<br />
    [dbview name=’world cities’]</p>
<p>Show the ‘world cities’ in the US with a population of greater than 5 million. See FAQ on passing arguments.<br />
    [dbview name=’world cities in country’ sort=city order=asc pagesize=10<br />
     arg1=’United States’ arg2=5000000]</p>
