productive discussion. Thank you for kicking it off, and backing it up with
research citations.
And thank you to everyone else who has contributed to this discussion. It’s
great to see ideas building upon ideas.

> In some scene, Sort fields can be reduct, if sort fields contain unique key
> For example
> {code:java}
> SELECT ename, salary FROM Emp
> order by empno, ename{code}
> where `empno` is a key, `ename` is redundant since `empno` alone is
> sufficient to determine the order of any two records.
> So the SQL can be optimized as following:
> {code:java}
> SELECT name, Emp.salary FROM Emp
> order by empno{code}
> For another example:
> {code:java}
> SELECT e_agg.c, e_agg.ename
> FROM
> (SELECT count(*) as c, ename, job FROM Emp GROUP BY ename, job) AS e_agg
> ORDER BY e_agg.ename, e_agg.c {code}
> Although `e_agg.ename` is not a key but field `ename` is unique and not null,
> it can be optimized as following:
> {code:java}
> SELECT e_agg.c, e_agg.ename
> FROM (SELECT count(*) as c, ename, job FROM Emp GROUP BY ename, job) AS e_agg
> ORDER BY e_agg.ename{code}
> Sorting is an expensive operation, however. Therefore, it is imperative that
> sorting
> is optimized to avoid unnecessary sort field.
