“order by” in query is taking to much time in MySQL. SHOW PROFILES shows that the time is taken by the sorting process. Is there any setting/workaround that will decrease the sorting time ?

If you don’t have an index on the field that you’re ordering by, add one:
“In some cases, MySQL can use an index to satisfy an ORDER BY clause without doing any extra sorting.”
Edit: (From the section on ORDER BY optimization in the MySQL documentation.)
