you should join them and then do the ordering. auto-references are a nice 
facility but comes with a price: you can't use them just like if your 
records were in a single table to do a select or an update....

db(db.table.refrence == db.refrencedtable.Field).select(db.table.ALL, 
orderby=db.refrencedtable.Field)
