How to Order Results from a UNION of Subqueries?

Sorting Results from Combined Subqueries (UNION)

Combining data from multiple subqueries using UNION allows for sorting the final result set.

Scenario:

Let's say you have a query combining data from multiple subqueries.

Problem:

How do you sort the combined results?

Incorrect Approach:

Using OR instead of UNION to combine subqueries will prevent proper ordering of the complete dataset.

Solution:

To sort the combined results, add an ORDER BY clause to the end of your UNION query. This clause will affect the entire combined result set.

For example, to sort by the name column: (The specific query structure will need to be provided to give a complete, accurate example) The provided text lacks a complete, functional example query using UNION. A complete example would be needed to illustrate the solution.
