Thanks Knut, I assigned my self to this issue.
> Wrong order when using ORDER BY on non-deterministic function
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DERBY-4406
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4406
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 10.5.3.0, 10.6.0.0
> Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
> Assignee: C.S. Nirmal J. Fernando
>
> If I read the SQL standard correctly, a statement such as "select random() as
> r from t order by random()" should be treated as "select random() as r from t
> order by r". Derby does however generate a second, hidden random() column by
> which the rows are ordered.
> ij> create table t(x int);
> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
> ij> insert into t values 1,2,3,4,5;
> 5 rows inserted/updated/deleted
> ij> -- wrong result, not ordered by r
> ij> select random() as r from t order by random();
> R
