Description
From @devavret , the question came up as to whether we guarantee the relative ordering of row groups across multiple input files in the parquet reader. That is, if you have two files `[f1, f2]` and the row groups within the files (in one column) are specified as `[[r0,r3], [r0,r1]]`, do we guarantee the output ordering would be `[f1r0, f1r3, f2r0, f2r1]`
The code does in fact do this for both the explicitly specified case and the unspecified (empty user input / all row groups), but we don't make any guarantees about it. Seems like a safe and easy thing to add.
