And this is the behavior user expect since Base exists together with internal
HSQLDB:
Queries could be mixed as you want. If there are duplicate names in the fields
the first field will be taken as the field for sorting.

This isn't a special behavior of HSQLDB. It is a behavior of the GUI.

This has nothing to do with writing a statement correctly. It is something I
could create by the GUI offered for creating queries and users expect the GUI
will work, special with internal databases.

By the way: How would you define "correctly"? As the GUI creates a statement?

I would prefer to end this discussion and offer a solution Firebird will work
as expected with GUI. We try this since nearly 8 years and had decided some
times ago to set Firebird as experimental, because there are too much elements
which doesn't work as expected. One thing is sorting: When creating a database
in Firebird I only sort after changing columns to UPPER cased, because the kind
of sorting Firebird uses at default is a nightmare. You could do this better by
setting the collation, but I got external Firebird databases with setting
collation, which couldn't be used by peoples with other systems.
