I was also able to confirm this works on O9i.

I get an error on 8.1.7.2. Is "siblings" new?

SQL> l

SQL> /

Challenge: present SQL results hierarchically and sort the nodes. Use sort 
column without changing data. Here's the DDL/DML to start: 
create table treenode ( 
        id              number          not null 
                        constraint pk_treenode primary key, 
        parentid        number          not null, 
        nodeorder       number          not null, 
        description     varchar2(20)    null); 
insert into treenode values(1,0,0,'top folder'); 
insert into treenode values(9,1,0,'1st subfolder'); 
insert into treenode values(7,1,2,'3rd subfolder'); 
insert into treenode values(2,1,1,'2nd subfolder'); 
insert into treenode values(8,7,1,'folder 3 item 2'); 
insert into treenode values(6,2,3,'folder 2 item 3'); 
insert into treenode values(5,7,0,'folder 3 item 1'); 
insert into treenode values(3,2,2,'folder 2 item 2'); 
insert into treenode values(4,2,1,'folder 2 item 1'); 
----------------------------------------------------- 
Here's the data presented hierachically without the desired sort: 
select * from treenode 
start with parentid=0 connect by prior id = parentid; 
        ID   PARENTID  NODEORDER DESCRIPTION 
---------- ---------- ---------- -------------------- 
         1          0          0 top folder 
         9          1          0 1st subfolder 
         7          1          2 3rd subfolder 
         8          7          1 folder 3 item 2 
         5          7          0 folder 3 item 1 
         2          1          1 2nd subfolder 
         6          2          3 folder 2 item 3 
         3          2          2 folder 2 item 2 
         4          2          1 folder 2 item 1 
----------------------------------------------------- 
Desired SQL statement results: 
        ID   PARENTID  NODEORDER DESCRIPTION 
---------- ---------- ---------- -------------------- 
         1          0          0 top folder 
         9          1          0 1st subfolder 
         2          1          1 2nd subfolder 
         4          2          1 folder 2 item 1 
         3          2          2 folder 2 item 2 
         6          2          3 folder 2 item 3 
         7          1          2 3rd subfolder 
         5          7          0 folder 3 item 1 
         8          7          1 folder 3 item 2 
----------------------------------------------------- 
Kudos to anyone who can figure out how to do this via SQL.
