[jira] Commented: (DERBY-4406) Wrong order when using ORDER BY on non-deterministic function

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

Hi,

In OrderByColumn class at bindOrderByColumn(ResultSetNode target, OrderByList oblist) method, the parameter oblist (OrderByList ) should contain the random() expression if we queried "select random() from t order by random();". So, can someone help me to check whether this oblist contains random()? I tried to print it in the console, by using oblist.elementAt(i).toString() and several different statements, but not successful. 

Thanks !!

> If I read the SQL standard correctly, a statement such as "select random() as r from t order by random()" should be treated as "select random() as r from t order by r". Derby does however generate a second, hidden random() column by which the rows are ordered.
