- ZORDER BY multi-dimensional clustering co-locates related data in the same files based on column values. It improves query performance when filtering on those columns by reducing the number of files to read. Unlike partitioning (which creates separate directories), Z-ordering maintains all data in one directory while optimizing file layout. It's especially effective for high-cardinality columns.
