The example from Discord:

```js
z.query.people
  .related('campusEdges')
  .related('groupEdges')
  .related('teamEdges')
  .related('listEdges')
  .related('phoneNumbers')
  .related('emails')
  .related('addresses')
  .related('leaders')
  .related('givingRSSFMonthly')
  .related('servingRSSFMonthly')
  .related('groupsRSSFMonthly')
  .orderBy('lastName', 'asc')
  .orderBy('firstName', 'asc')
```
