I attempted to think it through whether it is even *possible* to find a dataset (of any size) which *reliably* demonstrates the ordering mismatch. To my understanding -- since the outer query *can* (per happenstance) return rows in the order of the subquery's ORDER BY it is not possible to reliably demonstrate that it won't, is it ?
