Hi @kevinjqliu thanks for raising this. From the [docs](https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/latest/spark-ddl/#alter-table-write-ordered-by) I'm understanding that sort order is purely suggestive, and it is up to the engines to decide if they will attempt to use the sort-order on write. It says: "Iceberg tables can be configured with a sort order that is **used to automatically sort data that is written to the table in some engines**. For example, MERGE INTO in Spark will use the table ordering." Would blocking the writes be the correct solution here, or should we just emit a warning log that PyIceberg doesn't respect sort orders? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
