I have a UNION query, where the second part of the UNION should be ordered separately, not the complete UNION.
The resulting query should look like this:
(
SELECT id, fname FROM tab1 WHERE fname = 'Frank'
) UNION (
SELECT id, fname FROM tab2 WHERE lname = 'Sinatra'
ORDER BY fname DESC
)
My question is: How can I order the second part of the UNION?
Here is my current code:
$subquery1 = db_select('tab1','t1');
$subquery1->fields('t1',array('id','fname');
$subquery1->where('fname=:fname',array(':fname'=>'Frank');
$subquery2 = db_select('tab2','t2');
$subquery2->fields('t2',array('id','fname');
$subquery2->where('lname=:lname',array(':lname'=>'Sinatra');
$subquery2->orderBy('fname','DESC');
$subquery1->union($subquery2);
$result = $subquery1->execute();
...
The resulting query is:
(
SELECT id, fname FROM tab1 WHERE fname = 'Frank'
) UNION (
SELECT id, fname FROM tab2 WHERE lname = 'Sinatra'
)
ORDER BY fname DESC
