There is no index on the column transactionid in your PostgreSQL-

there is in your MySQL-table. This explains the difference.
CREATE INDEX i_transactionid ON public.metarelcloud_transactionlog

Does an index help a sort operation in PostgreSQL?
Yes it does, see the manual: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/indexes-ordering.html
Example without index:
"Sort (cost=804.39..829.39 rows=10000 width=4) (actual
time=16.006..17.171 rows=10000 loops=1)"
" Sort Key: bar"
" Sort Method: quicksort Memory: 491kB"
" -> Seq Scan on bla (cost=0.00..140.00 rows=10000 width=4) (actual
time=0.015..2.236 rows=10000 loops=1)"
"Total runtime: 18.098 ms"
Same query with index (btree):
"Index Scan Backward using i_bar on bla (cost=0.00..406.25 rows=10000
width=4) (actual time=0.093..4.408 rows=10000 loops=1)"
"Total runtime: 5.381 ms"
