Re: order by <tablename>

> Any hint?

you can run an explain analyze to check what is going on,
when you provide a table in query in the order by clause, it is
ordered by cols of that table in that order.

create table t(id int, value int);

postgres=# explain (analyze,verbose) select * from t order by t;
