in thread DBI with ORDER BY

Huh? The hashes are per-row. The rows still come out as a list or arrayref.

update: Yup, I never use fetchall_hashref, and was confusing it with things that I use. Sorry. Too many similar sounding names.

    merlyn, I believe you're thinking of fetchrow_hashref and not fetchall_hashref. The latter does in fact retrieve all the results into a hash (a HoH), thereby effectively discarding any ordering an ORDER BY clause might have imposed.
