Faster sorting - relationship or portal?

[Edward Newman]

Which is faster, sorting in the relation or in the portal? Anyone done any definitive testing?

[Himitsu]

they both seem like the same but the result is different. ISO filemaker magazine goes through a little bit more in-depth of the differences between them. I use the sort in the relationship more often than through just the portal. I think it was, that when it is sorted through the relationship, then any portal of fields using that relationship, will show the sort. I could be wrong!
