Ah, retracing my steps forget that; there's no sort because it's not the same 
query at all.

explain Select
   mult_ord.mult_ref
 From
   credit Inner Join
   mult_ord On mult_ord.transno = credit.transno
 Where
   (credit.show = 450000 Or
     credit.show = 450001) And
   credit."date" >= '2009-02-16' And
   credit."date" <= '2009-02-16' And
   credit.cancelled = ' ' group by mult_ref;


Lets just say it's been a long day.

Going back to my original point though, is there any way to get the planner to 
choose a better plan for the original distinct query? Or is it just a simple no 
because I set enable_sort to off?
