 * The other methods are optional.

 * If the table does not contain entities, however, the get_result_wrappers()
 * method is necessary, too. If this is the case and there are no relations to
 * entity tables, the get_result_entities() method is not needed.

   *
   * This method has to be present if click-sorting on fields should be allowed
   * for some fields using the default Entity API field handlers.
   *
   * @param $selector
   *   The field to sort on, as an Entity API data selector.

   *   The order to sort items in - either 'ASC' or 'DESC'. Defaults to 'ASC'.

   *
   * The method is responsible for resolving the relationship and returning the
   * entity objects for that relationship. The helper methods
   * EntityFieldHandlerHelper::construct_property_selector() and
   * EntityFieldHandlerHelper::extract_property_multiple() can be used to do

   *   (optional) A relationship for which the entities should be returned.
   * @param $field
   *   (optional) The field for which the entity should be returned. This is
   *   only needed in case a field is derived via a referenced entity without
   *   using a relationship. For example, if the node's field "author:name" is
   *   used, the user entity would be returned instead of the node entity.
   *
   * @return array
   *   A numerically indexed array containing two items: the entity type of
   *   entities returned by this method; and the array of entities, keyed by the
   *   same indexes as the results.
