Sort TableList by order of tables in PDF

[symroe]

I would expect the TableList returned by read_pdf to return a list of tables in the order defined in the PDF (by page, then table on that page).

I think this requires a few things:

1. Create a __lt__ method on Table that looks like:

def __lt__(self, other):
    return self.page < other.page and self.order < other.order

2. Create an __iter__ method on TableList

3. return sorted(tables) in read_pdf

I'd be happy to make these changes, but wonder if there are reasons against doing this, before making a PR.

There aren't any reasons against doing this, it just wasn't a priority. You can go ahead and open a PR! Do check out the contributor's guide before opening one.
