Vern,

I'm confused by what you're saying. Were the "parallel processing" and
"grouping" sentences related to eachother? AFAIK, even grouping is NOT a
promise of an order. I would think this is especially true with parallel
processing, but you seem to be implying the reverse. 

You don't have to process rows in group by order to do group by
processing, and even if you did, with parallel processing two (or more)
tasks could be assembling the data at the same time and the first one
done doesn't have to be the first on in the sort order.
