What is sorting and what is the difference between sorting and clustered indexes?..

Answer / saravakumar

The ORDER BY clause sorts query results by one or more
columns up to 8,060 bytes. This will happen by the time when
we retrieve data from database. Clustered indexes physically
sorting data, while inserting/updating the table.
