How to speed up the order by query in oracle?

There are several techniques you can use to speed up an ORDER BY query in Oracle:

1. Indexing: Make sure that the columns you are using in the ORDER BY clause are properly indexed. This can significantly speed up the sorting process.
2. Limit the number of columns in the ORDER BY clause: Try to order by only the necessary columns and avoid ordering by unnecessary columns to reduce the sorting overhead.
3. Use hints: You can use hints like ORDERED or INDEX to force the optimizer to use a specific index or ordering method for the query.
4. Use parallel processing: You can use parallel processing to speed up the sorting process by dividing the workload a**** multiple CPUs.
5. Use in-memory Sort: Consider using the SORT_AREA_SIZE parameter to control the amount of memory allocated for sorting operations. Increasing this parameter can improve sorting performance.
6. Upgrade your hardware: If you have a large dataset and complex sorting requirements, upgrading your hardware, such as adding more RAM or faster disk storage, can also improve sorting performance.
7. Optimize your query: Ensure that your query is well-optimized by using appropriate indexes, avoiding unnecessary joins, and using the most efficient query plan.

By implementing these techniques, you can speed up the ORDER BY query in Oracle and improve overall performance.
