Alessandro Molina updated ARROW-14656:
--------------------------------------
Description: It would be convenient to be able to sort a {{StructArray}} on
one of its columns. This can be done by combining multiple compute functions,
but having a helper that does that for you would probably be better. (was:
It's usually a common need to sort the results of an aggregation.
The group_by method of tables returns a {{StructArray}} to provide multiple
aggregations at once. Given that we don't support directly sorting a
{{StructArray}} it means a few lines of code are necessary for a simple sort
operation. It would be helpful to provide an helper method in {{StructArray}}
that provides a one line solution for most simple cases.)
