Dear Tom,
As I say in my previous letter I am using 7.2.3. If you wish I can show you the query and the result to see for yourself, that there is something wrong. It just don't order the overall result but the separate results of the both subqueries.

ORDER BY field1
But the the order by doesn't work properly. It returns the rows of the first query ordered and then appends the rows of the second query ordered.
Pray tell, what Postgres release are you using?
AFAICT this will result in an overall sort in all PG releases since 7.0. I don't have anything older to test...
