definitely.  assuming a set where

1  a
2  b
3  c
4  d

you need a way to tell the backend that you want only the first two 
records. With no explicit ordering, some backends return the data as its 
stored (and it could be very well 4,2,3,1 on the first round and 3,2,4,1 on 
the second). 
There's no pagination (meaning a solid way to show [1,2] and then [3,4]) 
with no order by. You can safely assume that some backends do a random 
orderby (random here means "the path of least resistance") when fetching 
records.
