Let's change to return student references, and make it a reference column, both here and below.

Now I totally get what you were saying. I was vastly overcomplicating it in my head!

| Additionally, we have a Families page that outlines the parent of each student and we’d like to find which student in each family is the oldest. So, we would create an oldest student column. | ||

This screenshot is much larger, making text inside much smaller, than most screenshots in our docs. This is particularly problematic for small screens. You can resize your window before taking screenshots, or zoom in maybe(?), but it should be at a similar scale to others.

"to determine which of them is returned" -- I think it would be good to say how it's determined, since it's so easy (first of matches, after sorting?). Something like this perhaps? ... When the lookupOne function encounters multiple matching results, it returns the first one by row ID. The optional sort_by parameter can be used to sort these results by another field, to determine which one would be returned as the first match.
