> [LogicalTypes.md in parquet-format|https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/LogicalTypes.md] defines the the sort order for INTERVAL to be produced by sorting by the value of months, then days, then milliseconds with unsigned comparison.
> According to these rules, 1d0h0s > 0d48h0s, which is counter-intuitive and does not seem to have any practical uses. Unless somebody is aware of an actual use-case in which this makes sense, I think the sort order should be undefined instead. The [reference implementation in parquet-mr|https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/blob/352b906996f392030bfd53b93e3cf4adb78d1a55/parquet-hadoop/src/main/java/org/apache/parquet/format/converter/ParquetMetadataConverter.java#L459] already considers the ordering to be unknown.
