<tip type="Data" author="Eric Vitiello">
When attempting to display data, always use the top-most tier when managing the data.

example: if your script needs a listing, sorted in a certain order, and will not use the data for anything else, have the database sort the data for you, rather than your script.

The simplest way always tends to be the most efficient.
