Hi David, I just now tried a sorting on the results and I got the records with latest approval_dt first.
My question now is will index-time boosting method increase the response. ie will I be able to acheive the same thing i achieved using sorting much faster if i use index-time boosting. If you feel it helps could you please send me a sample query also. Thanks, Anil.
