 Not the way to bet.  Are you old enough to remember when GROUP BY did a
 sort and T-SQL dialect-only programmers wrote code that depended on
 that single-processor sort model?   Things blew up after 6.5 because
 they wanted to save a few keystrokes and to violate standards (or as I
 call it "Speaking Hillbilly SQL").
 
 The advantage of following standards is that you can escape the
 contigous files/ contigous records physical model for MUCH better
 implementations, parallelism, etc.
