Can i sort QVD without taking resident load and order by ??

Hi @adiey_26 

that is not possible, 
you can read more about that - 
Does order by not work in the load script? - Qlik Community - 1030927

No, data cannot be sorted while it is being loaded in-memory

This is same as order or execution of a SQL, sort by is the second last clause to be executed 

imagine this   

Sorting after loading row1, then sort row1 ,2 after loading row2, then sort row1,2,3 after loading row 3 !!

Why not sorting the data before they are stored within the qvd?
