Hello, I've got a problem with ORDER BY .. DESC. I've searched the JIRA and found no matching issue. Is this really a unknown bug? We use derby v10.5.3.0. I can deliver the complete database as testcase if needed.
Here ist the statement: SELECT DISTINCT t14.FS_ID, t14.NAME_DE FROM p8001571_8001467.PRODUCTS t14 LEFT JOIN p8001571_8001467.RT_PRODUCT_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS_CATEGORIES_LIST t9 ON t14.FS_ID=t9.PROD_FS_ID0 AND t9.FS_VALID_TO>1268993576528 AND t9.FS_VALID_FROM<=1268993576528 LEFT JOIN p8001571_8001467.PRODUCT_CATEGORIES t8 ON t9.PROD_FS_ID=t8.FS_ID AND t8.FS_VALID_TO>1268993576528 AND t8.FS_VALID_FROM<=1268993576528 WHERE t8.FS_ID=1091 AND t14.FS_VALID_TO>1268993576528 AND t14.FS_VALID_FROM<=1268993576528 ORDER BY t14.NAME_DE ASC This select delivers: 1408, "DS 1000 block" 1152, "DS 1000 modular" 1409, "DS 1200 block" 1344, "DS 1200 modular" 1472, "DS 1400 block" 1345, "DS 1400 modular" If I change the order by to "DESC" I get the following result which is obviously not correct ordered: 1152, "DS 1000 modular" 1344, "DS 1200 modular" 1345, "DS 1400 modular" 1408, "DS 1000 block" 1409, "DS 1200 block" 1472, "DS 1400 block" If I keep "DESC" and change the columns in the request to "t14.NAME_DE, t14.FS_ID" the result is correct again: "DS 1000 block", 1408 "DS 1000 modular", 1152 "DS 1200 block", 1409 "DS 1200 modular", 1344 "DS 1400 block", 1472 "DS 1400 modular", 1345 The result is also correct if only the column "NAME_DE" is selected. I cross-checked the behaviour with PostgreSQL, it delivered the results as I expected.
