Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam.
Departure signage listing the departure time, flight numbers, destinations and gate numbers...sorted on ...uh....departure time.
Imagine trying to find out what time the delayed flight to Seattle leaves.
They might as well sort it on gate number, it will require a part table scan anyway...

Sorting the table by gate number may not work, as most of the time people don't know this information off hand.
Maybe group flights by airline name, so it makes it easier for users to search ?
@Vinodh: OK, the sorting on gate number was me being sarcastic :)
The list should ideally be sorted either on flight number or destination as those two attributes DO NOT CHNAGE.
Between the two, people generally do not remember their flight numbers but never forget their destinations.
Hence the list has to be sorted on destination
