If the DBA have to improve the performance,
DBA will need to know about:

- Which SQL generate a disk sort?
- Size of sorts.
- Changing 'work_mem' value can reduce disk sorts?

So, sometime DBA want to know about 'sorts', not temp files.

However, I understand DBA must also care about temp files usage.

I think both are required.
DBA need to know about 'sorts' and 'temp files'.
