GitHub user aglinxinyuan added a comment to the discussion: disallowing sorting on binary type
All the potential issues you described have nothing to do with sorting — they’re more about how to propagate the type correctly before sorting it. The sort operator should be general and capable of processing all data types. How to make the result correct is a separate issue. I don't think we should disable a function because we can't or we don't want to spend time making the result correct. Sort on binary type is supported in pretty much all the database systems, I think we should support it. I don’t have much insight into the technical difficulty since I didn’t review the PR, but as a user, I would like to sort the binary.
