Let's say I have 1000 records, and many of them are duplicates according to a particular field. If I apply a score to each row, such that the scores are all different, and sort descending by that score, and then I de-duplicate the entire list based on that field, will Clay keep the row with the highest score as the true row? Assuming my sort is descending according to highest score?
