I have a pages field, I want to show the first sorted image as the cover thumbnail - how can I do this, at the moment I think its showing the last first uploaded.

Should be

```auto
query: page.images.sortBy('sort', 'asc').first

```

thanks, needs the image (for those that does know):

```
    image:
      query: page.images.sortBy('sort', 'asc').first

```

would it make sense to have this as the default?

Why should this be the default? That only makes sense if images are sorted manually.
