I vaguely recall that using DESC for c.bikeParts could help with performance, but I’m not entirely confident about the order with c._ts.

I’m a bit confused about whether to prioritize c._ts or c.bikeParts. I thought c._ts should come first since it’s a timestamp, but I could be wrong.

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to optimize a query for performance. I feel like using c.bikeParts first might be the right choice.

I remember we discussed how the order of columns in the ORDER BY clause can affect index usage, but I’m not sure which combination is best here.
