You might try:

SELECT some_column
 FROM some_table
 GROUP BY some_column
 HAVING SUM(CASE WHEN sort_order=1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) = 0;


SELECT some_column
  FROM some_table
 GROUP BY some_column
HAVING every(sort_order <> 1);

every() is in 8.1 at least (can't recall when it was introduced); it's the
same as bool_and(), i.e. an aggregate that returns true only if all inputs
are true. Why isn't there a corresponding any(), I wonder? (bool_or does
exist)

Unfortunately we still use 7.4, but I realized this morning that this should work too (not tried yet):

SELECT some_column
  FROM some_table
 GROUP BY some_column
HAVING MIN(sort_order) > 1;

As our sort_orders start from 1.
