Can't think of one. If we supported casting regproc to text then I'd expect ordering by the regproc-casted-to-text to do what you want. But we don't. There have been some questions in the past about why we don't support casting *every* datatype to and from text (using the datatype's input and output functions if necessary). I'm on record as not favoring allowing such conversions to happen implicitly, but I can't see any good reason not to allow them as explicit casts... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
