Behavior of asc table

The doc on asc says 

> table, returns it sorted by the first non-key column and with the partitioned attribute set on it

But when there is only one non-keyed column, it's actually the sorted attribute that is set.

q)meta asc ([c1:`a`b] c2:2 1)
c | t f a
--| -----
c1| s
c2| j   s
q)meta asc ([c1:`a`b] c2:2 1; c3:01b)
c | t f a
--| -----
c1| s
c2| j   p
c3| b

 Perhaps an incomplete doc? Wonder if there is other edge case.

Hi darrenwsun,

Yes, this is expected behavior and we will update the documentation to reflect.

Thanks for raising, I've created a GitHub issue for tracking.

Kind regards,

David
