I think that's probably what you want to do. What you're missing is you need parentheses to put an ORDER BY into an arm of a UNION: (SELECT ... ORDER BY ...) UNION SELECT ... Otherwise it wants to consider the ORDER BY as applying to the UNION output. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
