[OrderID = 4, CustomerID = 3, Item = "Fish tazer", Price = 200],
[OrderID = 3, CustomerID = 2, Item = "Fishing net", Price = 25],
[OrderID = 2, CustomerID = 1, Item = "1 lb. worms", Price = 5],

[OrderID = 3, CustomerID = 2, Item = "Fishing net", Price = 25.0],

[OrderID = 5, CustomerID = 3, Item = "Bandaids", Price = 2.0],
[OrderID = 6, CustomerID = 1, Item = "Tackle box", Price = 20.0],
[OrderID = 7, CustomerID = 5, Item = "Bait", Price = 3.25],
[OrderID = 8, CustomerID = 5, Item = "Fishing Rod", Price = 100.0],
[OrderID = 9, CustomerID = 6, Item = "Bait", Price = 3.25]
}),
{
{"CustomerID", Order.Ascending},
"OrderID"

Table.FromRecords({
[OrderID = 1, CustomerID = 1, Item = "Fishing rod", Price = 100],
[OrderID = 2, CustomerID = 1, Item = "1 lb. worms", Price = 5],
[OrderID = 6, CustomerID = 1, Item = "Tackle box", Price = 20],
[OrderID = 3, CustomerID = 2, Item = "Fishing net", Price = 25],
[OrderID = 4, CustomerID = 3, Item = "Fish tazer", Price = 200],
