 When working with relational databases, a common task is to join multiple tables and apply various
 query conditions and parameters to the JOIN SQL statement. Instead of calling [[ActiveQuery::join()]]
-explicitly to build up the JOIN query, you may reuse the existing relation definitions and call [[ActiveQuery::joinWith()]]
-to achieve the same goal. For example,
+explicitly to build up the JOIN query, you may reuse the existing relation definitions and call

 ```php
+// find all orders and sort the orders by the customer id and the order id. also eager loading "customer"
+$orders = Order::find()->joinWith('customer')->orderBy('tbl_customer.id, tbl_order.id')->all();
 // find all orders that contain books, and eager loading "books"
-$orders = Order::find()->joinWith('books')->all();
-// find all orders that contain books, and sort the orders by the book names.
-$orders = Order::find()->joinWith([
-    'books' => function ($query) {
-        $query->orderBy('tbl_item.id');
-    }
-])->all();
+$orders = Order::find()->innerJoinWith('books')->all();
 ```
 
-Note that [[ActiveQuery::joinWith()]] differs from [[ActiveQuery::with()]] in that the former will build up
-and execute a JOIN SQL statement for the primary model class. For example, `Order::find()->joinWith('books')->all()`
-returns all orders that contain books, while `Order::find()->with('books')->all()` returns all orders
-regardless they contain books or not.
-
-Because `joinWith()` will cause generating a JOIN SQL statement, you are responsible to disambiguate column
-names. For example, we use `tbl_item.id` to disambiguate the `id` column reference because both of the order table
-and the item table contain a column named `id`.
+In the above, the method [[ActiveQuery::innerJoinWith()|innerJoinWith()]] is a shortcut to [[ActiveQuery::joinWith()|joinWith()]]
+with the join type set as `INNER JOIN`.

+You may join with one or multiple relations; you may apply query conditions to the relations on-the-fly;

+Behind the scene, Yii will first execute a JOIN SQL statement to bring back the primary models
+satisfying the conditions applied to the JOIN SQL. It will then execute a query for each relation
+and populate the corresponding related records.
+
+The difference between [[ActiveQuery::joinWith()|joinWith()]] and [[ActiveQuery::with()|with()]] is that
+the former joins the tables for the primary model class and the related model classes to retrieve
+the primary models, while the latter just queries against the table for the primary model class to
+retrieve the primary models.
+
+Because of this difference, you may apply query conditions that are only available to a JOIN SQL statement.
+For example, you may filter the primary models by the conditions on the related models, like the example
+above. You may also sort the primary models using columns from the related tables.
+
+When using [[ActiveQuery::joinWith()|joinWith()]], you are responsible to disambiguate column names.
+In the above examples, we use `tbl_item.id` and `tbl_order.id` to disambiguate the `id` column references
+because both of the order table and the item table contain a column named `id`.
+
 By default, when you join with a relation, the relation will also be eagerly loaded. You may change this behavior
 by passing the `$eagerLoading` parameter which specifies whether to eager load the specified relations.
 
-Also, when the relations are joined with the primary table, the default join type is `INNER JOIN`. You may change
-to use other type of joins, such as `LEFT JOIN`.
+And also by default, [[ActiveQuery::joinWith()|joinWith()]] uses `LEFT JOIN` to join the related tables.
+You may pass it with the `$joinType` parameter to customize the join type. As a shortcut to the `INNER JOIN` type,
+you may use [[ActiveQuery::innerJoinWith()|innerJoinWith()]].
 
 Below are some more examples,
 
 ```php
 // find all orders that contain books, but do not eager loading "books".
-$orders = Order::find()->joinWith('books', false)->all();
-// find all orders and sort them by the customer IDs. Do not eager loading "customer".
-$orders = Order::find()->joinWith([
-	'customer' => function ($query) {
-		$query->orderBy('tbl_customer.id');
-	},
-], false, 'LEFT JOIN')->all();
+$orders = Order::find()->innerJoinWith('books', false)->all();
+// equivalent to the above
+$orders = Order::find()->joinWith('books', false, 'INNER JOIN')->all();
 ```
