To sort data in PostgreSQL using indexes, you can follow these steps:
CREATE INDEX people_name_idx ON people(name);
SELECT * FROM people ORDER BY name ASC;
Note that creating indexes can increase the performance of your queries, but it can also slow down insert, update, and delete operations. Therefore, you should only create indexes on columns that are frequently used in sorting or filtering operations.
