Explanation:
Using the ORDER BY Clause in Set Operations
– The ORDER BY clause can appear only once at the end of the compound query.
– Component queries cannot have individual ORDER BY clauses.
– The ORDER BY clause recognizes only the columns of the first SELECT query.
– By default, the first column of the first SELECT query is used to sort the output in an ascending
order.
