If "options" are set, these options are passed to the reference loader. The default reference loader supports only one option named "order". If "order" is set to nil, the default order is used, if "order" is set to false, no ORDER BY statment is included in the selector, otherwise the given expression is used for ordering.

  1453 This method loads referenced objects and attaches them with the objects of the existent list. The "ref" and "back_ref" arguments passed to "add_reference" are used for the attachment, unless aliases are given with "ref_alias" and "back_ref_alias". If "options" are set, these options are passed to the reference loader. The default reference loader supports only one option named "order". If "order" is set to nil, the default order is used, if "order" is set to false, no ORDER BY statment is included in the selector, otherwise the given expression is used for ordering.
  1455 This method is not only available for database result objects but also for database result lists. Calling this method for objects is unneccessary, unless additional options and/or an alias is used.

  1479 Denotes a reference from one database class to another database class (model to model relation). There are 4 possible types of references: one-to-one (mode = "11"), one-to-many (mode = "1m"), many-to-one ("m1"), and many-to-many ("mm"). References usually should be defined in both models, which are related to each other, with mirrored mode (i.e. "1m" in one model, and "m1" in the other). One-to-one and one-to-many references may have a "back_ref" setting, which causes that loaded objects of the referenced class, refer back to the originating object. One-to-many and many-to-many references may have a "default_order" setting, which selects the default order for selected objects. When adding a many-to-many reference, the argument "connected_by_table", "connected_by_this_key" and "connected_by_that_key" must be set additionally.
