Re: Order by and timestamp SOLVED

So insert is
bnl@ibm2:~/db$ psql
Tidtagning är på.
AUTOCOMMIT off
psql (9.6.15, server 9.4.15)
Skriv "help" för hjälp.

Except you are using psql 9.6.15 against a 9.4.15 server.

What happens if you use psql(9.4.15) to do sort query against 9.4.15 server?

So this is more than strange

bnl@ibm2:~$ /usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin/psql

Timing is on.

AUTOCOMMIT off

psql (9.4.15)

Type "help" for help.

This. works. I did not realize I ran different client/server versions.

9.6 must have come with a Debian upgrade where I did not migrate the database to 9.6, 

but got the psql 9.6 as default (/sr/bin/psql)

However AFTER I checked the bad sorting - sep/oct 2016 and early apr 2017 

With psql 9.4 I connected with psql 9.6 again.

And now the sorting error is  gone her too!

I cannot reproduce it anymore

So I learned this - always use same version of client and server

Many thanks to Adrian and Tom
