Excellent CTE query, thanks, but one question: the query uses 
group_concat() and the documentation says 'The order of the concatenated 
elements is arbitrary.'

Would it not be better if Sqlite guaranteed that group_concat() 
respected the order by clause, if one exists. I think the alternative, 
if group_concat does not/will not support this, would be to create yet 
another CTE to replicate group_concat() functionality that does, 
although that would introduce additional complexity and it would of 
course be better if the Sqlite gave guarantees about this function's 
behaviour instead.
Thanks,
K
