-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CORE-5497
                 URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5497
             Project: Firebird Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Karol Bieniaszewski


For query like this Firebird remove unnescessary sorting but only if we order 
by first column
SELECT
        R.RDB$RELATION_NAME, R.RDB$DBKEY_LENGTH 
FROM
RDB$RELATIONS R
UNION
SELECT
        R.RDB$RELATION_NAME, R.RDB$DBKEY_LENGTH 
FROM
RDB$RELATIONS R
ORDER BY 1

Select Expression
    -> Unique Sort (record length: 150, key length: 108)
        -> Union
            -> Table "RDB$RELATIONS" as "R" Full Scan
            -> Table "RDB$RELATIONS" as "R" Full Scan


but when we change query to and sort on second field (same fields but swapped)


SELECT
        R.RDB$DBKEY_LENGTH, R.RDB$RELATION_NAME
FROM
RDB$RELATIONS R
UNION
SELECT
        R.RDB$DBKEY_LENGTH, R.RDB$RELATION_NAME
FROM
RDB$RELATIONS R
ORDER BY 2

Select Expression
    -> Sort (record length: 142, key length: 100)
        -> Unique Sort (record length: 150, key length: 108)
            -> Union
                -> Table "RDB$RELATIONS" as "R" Full Scan
                -> Table "RDB$RELATIONS" as "R" Full Scan

we have 2 sorts - one is unnescessary
