This stops SQLite from realising it can use an existing index. If you do CREATE INDEX m_s ON members (score) SELECT * FROM members ORDER BY score DESC SQLite cleverly spots that the index is useful. However SELECT * FROM members ORDER BY +score DESC has SQLite looking for "+score" but find "score", and they are clearly different, so SQLite will not use index m_s.
