Given the rowcounts here, I think the planner is making the right choice.
Sorting 70-some rows with a Sort node is probably cheaper than doing
random disk I/O to get them in sorted order. With more rows involved,
it might make the other choice.
As a testing measure (don't do it in production!), you could set
enable_sort = off, which will force the planner to pick a non-Sort
plan if possible. Then you could see whether that's actually faster
or slower, and by how much.
