how to include “order by” in Pear MDB2 autoexecute select statments

Question

I'm using Pear MDB2's "Extended" module to have it automatically generate and execute SQL select statements. The help document is here:

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.mdb2.intro-auto.php

I want to get the results back from the DB in a certain order. I know, I could have my PHP program do the sorting after the results are fetched, but it turns out to be much faster if the DB sorts it.

I can't find a way in the API to tell it to use "order by" and by which columns. Is there a way to make MDB2 do this?

Answer 1

No, the MDB2 extended module does not support ordering for autoprepared/executed queries.
