Hi Olivier,

If I understand you correctly, and you want to have ORDER BY clause in
biomart-perl query builder, I would suggest to build your table around
the required ORDER BY columns. If you execute ORDER BY on the fly (via
biomart-perl), this will be done with each batch of the query and
similarly every time a user/new user asks for results with different
attributes/filters. This would make your query response very slow. If
you know the bottle neck which i guess is the case, better fix it on the
table level.

regards
syed
