This is because > there will be a single generated query that will fetch all rows that match > the filters. The ORDER BY is necessary during pagination (when Partition Size > > 0) so it can fetch from Row X to Row Y based on the row number, which is > only constant if the column is ordered. > This Jira proposes to remove the ORDER BY clause from the generated query if > Partition Size is set to 0. Note that this can cause the output of the > executed query to not guaranteed to be ordered; it is a possible change in > behavior, but we don't document any guarantees about row ordering anyway. If > the user needs the rows ordered, they can do it with QueryRecord, or they can > add the ORDER BY clause manually via ReplaceText. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
