Is Group By sequence important?

[Razor]

Hi,

In a "Totals" (Group By) query, I want to group by 2
fields and apply group functions on some third field (sum
or count).

Does the order with which I group matter?

i.e. Is ...group by A,B...
equivalent to
Group by B,A...

in terms of the resultsets I obtain?

Can I be indifferent between these 2 queries?

Thanks,

Razor

The groups are divided as Cartesian product groups so I don't think the
order of the Fields in the GROUP BY clause makes any difference.
