Works OK when I try it.  I don't have your custom concat()
function, so I had to use sum() instead.  Here is my test:

  CREATE TABLE t1(a);
  INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(100);
  INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(20);
  INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(3);
  CREATE TABLE t2(b);
  INSERT INTO t2 VALUES('a');
  INSERT INTO t2 VALUES('b');
  INSERT INTO t2 VALUES('c');

  SELECT b, sum(a)
    FROM t2, t1
   GROUP BY b;
  SELECT '----------------------';
  SELECT b, sum(a)
    FROM t2, t1
   GROUP BY b
   ORDER BY b;

And I get the same output either way:

   a|123
   b|123
   c|123
   ----------------------
   a|123
   b|123
   c|123
