Goal Find derived tables where the rows are ordered, i.e., there is ORDER BY clause at the end of the view. Different users may want to see the rows in different order. Thus, the DBMS may have to do extra and unnecessary work by firstly sorting based on one set of rows and after that based on other set of rows. Use sorting if you know that all the users want the rows in the same order and cannot/will not change the order in the application.
