Hi, I am working in 8.5 and have been able to sucessfully union to selects with subqueries together. I get the correct records, but I can't figure out how to sort them. Any time I add the order by clause it causes an error. I have tried adding it to either select. Thanks for any help.

Use the column number, not the column name,
in the ORDER BY statement (and of course ORDER BY
only in the last SELECT statement).
For example,
-----------------
SELECT...
UNION
SELECT...
ORDER BY 2
