Y (Yes) → results are sorted (ascending / from smallest to largest)
N (No) → results are not guaranteed

🧠 How it works

Sample Data:

    category	views
    ------------------
    A           100
    A           200
    B           300
    B           100
    C           50

Step 1: MAX per category

    category	max_views
    ----------------------
    A           200
    B           300
    C           50

Step 2: Bottom N (for example N=2)

    category_new    max_views
    -------------------------
    C               50
    A               200

🧪 Case Study

🎯 Case:

Showing 3 categories with the LOWEST max views

🔄 Workflow

Source data
GroupBy →category
Bottom N Max:
- Field =views
- Number of Record =3
- Ordered =Y

📊 Output:

    category_new    max_views
    --------------------------
    Education       120
    Travel          215
    Music           220

💡 Important Note:

The useful output fields from this buffer function are the grouped fields and new fields. Add a Transformator (

) assembly afterward to select these fields.
