[Lars Helge Øverland <larshelge@xxxxxxxxx>]

Abyot and I discussed a bit, short-term approach will be to

- change executiondate from date to timestamp
- use the existing index on that column to do sorting in a fast way
- hide the sorting operation between an interface

This way the timestamp (executiondate) sort of becomes the sequence number.
