SOQL Order by Limit

If you have a SOQL statement with ORDER BY and a LIMIT 100 clause, which executes first?  Does it order all records and then take the first 100 records or does it do the LIMIT first and then ORDER BY?

hello rdclk23

 

If you have a SOQL query like that thenit will order all records first, after that will apply the limits.

 

 

Hope this help!!!

I agree to Vimal. It will query based on the Order then limit it.

Hi rdclk23.

Try for this process.
List<Account> accList=new List<Account>();
accList==[SELECT id,
                    Name
     FROM Account
     ORDER BY Name ASC
     LIMIT 1000
];

Thanks
Akshay
