orderBy	An optional list of names of the aggregate fields to order the results by.
tagNamespace	An optional string. When grouping by tag, tagNamespace can be supplied to limit the tags being grouped by to only those in the given namespace. For example, to only see topics, have tagNamespace = 'topic'
