Remarks
In addition to providing access to all of the methods and properties of IFeatureLayerDefinition, this interface has a property that specifies the query order when accessing features from the database. Use SearchOrder to specify whether to query first by spatial extent or attribute. In the ArcGIS implementation, this only applies when the layer data source is in an ArcSDE geodatabase.
