Hi Michael,
Yes, I understand this but, I would like to have the results of both
"table1.name, table2.name"
sorted as one column.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Andy

If you want to order by table1.name and table2.name, just enter them in
a comma-separated-list after ORDER BY, e.g.,
SELECT table1.name, table2.name, <other selected columns>
FROM table1, table2
WHERE table1.id = table2.id
ORDER BY table1.name, table2.name
Check out the following link for the online docs:
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/queries-order.html;
It doesn't explicitly give you an example of sorting on more than one
column, but the syntax explanation at the top includes it.
Does this help?
