Let me show you some simple examples. 1. You cannot avoid filesort by simply including the order by column(s) into WHERE: SELECT col1 FROM testtab WHERE col1 > 1 OR col3 > 1 ORDER BY col3; 2. You not necessarily need to have ORDER BY column(s) in the WHERE clause: ALTER TABLE testtab ADD INDEX ix1 (col1, col3); SELECT col3 FROM testtab WHERE col1=1 ORDER BY col3; Also, storage engine does matter... :) BR Venu,

your suggestions could work in some cases, but they will not work in general. Let me show you some simple examples.

1. You cannot avoid filesort by simply including the order by column(s) into WHERE:
SELECT col1 FROM testtab WHERE col1 > 1 OR col3 > 1 ORDER BY col3;

2. You not necessarily need to have ORDER BY column(s) in the WHERE clause:
ALTER TABLE testtab ADD INDEX ix1 (col1, col3);
SELECT col3 FROM testtab WHERE col1=1 ORDER BY col3;

Also, storage engine does matter… :)
