“If your query returns a small number of rows but filters inefficiently, the database might still have to scan a large portion of the table and sort all those matching rows, which involves temporary memory, CPU, and often some significant amount of disk I/O - especially without an index on the field you're ordering by. Keep this in mind when considering whether to sort the results of your query using .orderBy() or .orderByDesc(), and be sure never to do so either willily, or nillily.”
