Hi Vik
Thanks for the reply. 
Can you please give me an example of how the order is specified?
I want the result of the UNNEST to be in the order of the array field
E.g.
SELECT UNNEST ( ARRAY[ 'abc' , 'ggh' , '12aa' , '444f' ] );
Should always return:

 unnest
--------
 abc
 ggh
 12aa
 444f

How should the ORDER BY be implemented in the syntax?

Regards
