Dear friends...,
I have the following problem:
select
.....
from
....
where
....
UNION ALL
select
...
from
....
where
....
ORDER BY field1
But the the order by doesn't work properly. It returns the rows of the
first query ordered and then appends the rows of the second query
ordered. But this is not what i expect. I expect the result of both
queries to be orderd. So I try.
SELECT TEMP.*
FROM
(
select
.....
from
....
where
....
UNION ALL
select
...
from
....
where
....
) TEMP
ORDER BY TEMP.field1
But this also doesn't work. Any ideas.p
