/**
 * This function generates the standard ORDER BY clause for use when generating
 * lists of users. If you don't have a reason to use a different order, then
 * you should use this method to generate the order when displaying lists of users.
 *
 * If the optional $search parameter is passed, then exact matches to the search
 * will be sorted first. For example, suppose you have two users 'Al Zebra' and
 * 'Alan Aardvark'. The default sort is Alan, then Al. If, however, you search for
 * 'Al', then Al will be listed first. (With two users, this is not a big deal,
 * but with thousands of users, it is essential.)
 *
 * The list of fields scanned for exact matches are:
 *  - firstname
 *  - lastname
 *  - $DB->sql_fullname
 *  - those returned by get_extra_user_fields
 *
 * If named parameters are used (which is the default, and highly recommended),
 * then the parameter names are like :usersortexactN, where N is an int.
 *
 * The simplest possible example use is:
 * list($sort, $params) = users_order_by_sql();
 * $sql = 'SELECT * FROM {users} ORDER BY ' . $sort;
 *
 * A more complex example, showing that this sort can be combined with other sorts:
 * list($sort, $sortparams) = users_order_by_sql('u');
 * $sql = "SELECT g.id AS groupid, gg.groupingid, u.id AS userid, u.firstname, u.lastname, u.idnumber, u.username
 *           FROM {groups} g
 *      LEFT JOIN {groupings_groups} gg ON g.id = gg.groupid
 *      LEFT JOIN {groups_members} gm ON g.id = gm.groupid
 *      LEFT JOIN {user} u ON gm.userid = u.id
 *          WHERE g.courseid = :courseid $groupwhere $groupingwhere
 *       ORDER BY g.name, $sort";
 * $params += $sortparams;
 *
 * An example showing the use of $search:
 * list($sort, $sortparams) = users_order_by_sql('u', $search, $this->get_context());
 * $order = ' ORDER BY ' . $sort;
 * $params += $sortparams;
 * $availableusers = $DB->get_records_sql($fields . $sql . $order, $params, $page*$perpage, $perpage);
 *
 * @param string $usertablealias (optional) any table prefix for the {users} table. E.g. 'u'.
 * @param string $search (optional) a current search string. If given,
 *      any exact matches to this string will be sorted first.
 * @param context $context the context we are in. Use by get_extra_user_fields.
 *      Defaults to $PAGE->context.
 * @return array with two elements:
 *      string SQL fragment to use in the ORDER BY clause. For example, "firstname, lastname".
 *      array of parameters used in the SQL fragment.
