in thread Seems to be a real monday

Hi,

thank you. But this is a MySQL speciality and not mandanted by the SQL spec.

More intersting: Look at the 5.6 version of that document http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/order-by-optimization.html:

Relying on implicit GROUP BY sorting in MySQL 5.6 is deprecated.

McA
