> Any hint?

you can run an explain analyze to check what is going on,
when you provide a table in query in the order by clause, it is
ordered by cols of that table in that order.

create table t(id int, value int);

postgres=# explain (analyze,verbose) select * from t order by t;
                                                 QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Sort  (cost=158.51..164.16 rows=2260 width=40) (actual
time=0.005..0.006 rows=0 loops=1)
   Output: id, value, t.*
   Sort Key: t.*

         Output: id, value, t.*

postgres=# truncate table t;
TRUNCATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into t values (100, 1);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# insert into t values (50, 2);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select * from t order by t;
 id  | value
-----+-------
  50 |     2
 100 |     1
(2 rows)

postgres=# select * from t order by t.id, t.value;
 id  | value
-----+-------
  50 |     2
 100 |     1
