How? Sorted = faster, or Sorted = slower?

I'm running a mapred job, using TableOutputFormat to write the results
to HBase. For the code you've provided, was that for a custom output
format? Or a standalone (non-mapred) application? I see the point
you're making, I just don't understand where I'd put that code.
Thanks!
