我有一个表，该表包含大约100.000个博客文章，并通过1：n关系链接到具有50个供稿的表。当我用select语句查询两个表时（按发布表的datetime字段排序），MySQL始终使用文件排序，导致查询时间非常慢（>
1秒）。这是postings表的架构（简化）：

+---------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field               | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+---------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id                  | int(11)      | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| feed_id             | int(11)      | NO   | MUL | NULL    |                |
| crawl_date          | datetime     | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| is_active           | tinyint(1)   | NO   | MUL | 0       |                |
| link                | varchar(255) | NO   | MUL | NULL    |                |
| author              | varchar(255) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| title               | varchar(255) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| excerpt             | text         | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| long_excerpt        | text         | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| user_offtopic_count | int(11)      | NO   | MUL | 0       |                |
+---------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

这是feed桌子：

+-------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field       | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id          | int(11)      | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| type        | int(11)      | NO   | MUL | 0       |                |
| title       | varchar(255) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| website     | varchar(255) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| url         | varchar(255) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
+-------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

这是执行时间超过1秒的查询。请注意，该post_date字段具有索引，但MySQL并未使用它对发布表进行排序：

SELECT 
    `postings`.`id`, 
    UNIX_TIMESTAMP(postings.post_date) as post_date, 
    `postings`.`link`, 
    `postings`.`title`, 
    `postings`.`author`, 
    `postings`.`excerpt`, 
    `postings`.`long_excerpt`, 
    `feeds`.`title` AS feed_title, 
    `feeds`.`website` AS feed_website
FROM 
    (`postings`)
JOIN 
    `feeds` 
ON 
    `feeds`.`id` = `postings`.`feed_id`
WHERE 
    `feeds`.`type` = 1 AND 
    `postings`.`user_offtopic_count` < 10 AND 
    `postings`.`is_active` = 1
ORDER BY 
    `postings`.`post_date` desc
LIMIT 
    15

该explain extended查询命令的结果表明MySQL正在使用文件排序：

+----+-------------+----------+--------+---------------------------------------+-----------+---------+--------------------------+-------+-----------------------------+
| id | select_type | table    | type   | possible_keys                         | key       | key_len | ref                      | rows  | Extra                       |
+----+-------------+----------+--------+---------------------------------------+-----------+---------+--------------------------+-------+-----------------------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | postings | ref    | feed_id,is_active,user_offtopic_count | is_active | 1       | const                    | 30996 | Using where; Using filesort |
|  1 | SIMPLE      | feeds    | eq_ref | PRIMARY,type                          | PRIMARY   | 4       | feedian.postings.feed_id |     1 | Using where                 |
+----+-------------+----------+--------+---------------------------------------+-----------+---------+--------------------------+-------+-----------------------------+

当我删除该order by部分时，MySQL停止使用文件排序。如果您对如何优化此查询以使MySQL通过使用索引来排序和选择数据有任何想法，请告诉我。我已经尝试了一些方法，例如，根据一些博客文章的建议，在所有按位置/按字段排序的字段上创建了一个组合索引，但是这也不起作用。
