    73 Sorting is an expensive operation on complex queries especially when the DB is potentially returning hundreds of thousands of results. In the past we have had issues with data providers timing out for these very large queries, especially those which specify a sample time, as they bypass the normal Data Provider limits. Sorting is left to the client to do.   
     73Sorting is an expensive operation on complex queries especially when the DB is potentially returning hundreds of thousands of results. In the past we have had issues with data providers timing out for these very large queries, especially those which specify a sample time, as they bypass the normal Data Provider limits. However in order to provide the user with increased functionality we now provide a /SORT argument to the vso_search. Using this is guaranteed to return results that are time sorted.
