Guys, this topic was about the article on the usage of grouping() but you've moved away to wether or not to add a sort clause now. I feel a little guilty for that because I first made a note on the sorting. You've both made your points and since neither can give proof there's no need to keep poluting the topic any more. I personally totally see Hugo's point, so I'll keep on adding the order by clause. Even though I totally respect -if not live by- Jeff's advices normally. Since the sorting is undocumented behavior (unless someone else has a link?) I think it's up to each and everyone to decide for themselves whether or not their solution should rely on it and I don't see any reason not to add the order by clause. If you want to continue this debate, can you please start a separate topic for it?
The sorting is not undocumented... and that was my point. 😉 And, I am truly humbled by your comment. Thank you.
