Hold on there. SQL does NOT return stuff in "no particular order". SQL returns stuff in the order you request it be returned.
If you don't bother to request an order, then I guess your statement stands, but the DBA needs a spanking for crafting a query that doesn't specify any necessary parameters, such as the desired ordering of the rowset.

Unfortunately there are a few settings where order matters, and sql usually returns stuff in no particular order Wolfgang
