It seems rather odd and confusing that the sort order takes the second
column as the major key. I think that the sort ordering should be
column 1 then 2. That means either putting the schema column first,
or keeping this column ordering and sorting on relname before schema.
I lean towards the first choice but can see a case for the second.
