Perhaps we (that is, the people who want MS-SQL support) could use the
technique described here:

I do believe there might be a subtle problem in the case where the sort
key is not unique -  in that case, TOP X can return more than X records,
IIRC. We might have to add the primary key to the SORT BY as a last
resort when sorting by a non-unique field.
