If what you are describing is completely accurate, ( no DML, change S_A_S fixes the problem ) then it would appear you have encountered a bug. A search on MetaLink is in order, and failing that, you need to open a TAR. Jared On Thu, 2004-01-29 at 04:59, Wendry wrote: > I have the same problem li

Did a little testing. I think that the columns names are decided by the first select only. The union adds the rows from the second select to the result set created by the first select. That's mean that your columns are a , b , c. So order by 'a' will work. It did in my test. Yechiel Adar, Mehish

In the order by section use the relative column numbers. Plus, you can not individually order by a single column from each union. Its a comprehensive sort of the entire column. SELECT A,B,C FROM TABLEABC UNION SELECT D,E,F FROM TABLEDEF ORDER BY 1 -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, Jan
