 However, in cases where CPU metrics are sent at random and typically have unique
 timestamps, the cost of deduplication is negligible.
 
+:::note
+
+The on-disk ordering of rows with duplicate timestamps differs when deduplication is enabled. 
+
+- Without deduplication:
+    - the insertion order of each row will be preserved for rows with the same timestamp
+- With deduplication:
+    - the rows will be stored in order sorted by the `DEDUP UPSERT` keys, with the same timestamp
+  
+For example:
+
+```questdb-sql
+DEDUP UPSERT keys(timestamp, symbol, price)
+
+-- will be stored on-disk in an order like:
+
+ORDER BY timestamp, symbol, price
+```
+
+This is the natural order of data returned in plain queries, without any grouping, filtering or ordering. The SQL standard does not guarantee the ordering of result sets without explicit `ORDER BY` clauses.
