Re: function retuning refcursor, order by ignored?

Hmm, well if both of you say that ORDER BY is not somehow ignored by
refcursor functions then I'm sure you're right. I'm just very clusmy in my
testing of the output...somehow the output order by is being lost. I've been
testing via the results in a web app and have had issues with executing the
proc in postgres directly. I think the example you've provided here may help
me.

Thanks to both of you.
