URGENT PLEASE: I want help in Order by from FRENCH title and using union statements

Dear all,

I have a union of two tables. I want to order by english and as well as french titles. Ordering english titles are fine, but the French accent "é,É" coming after the letter z, I want them comes after E,e. I am using "ORDER BY NLSSORT(aname,'NLS_SORT = French')" This works for single table order by, but for union of two table, I am getting the error,

"ERROR at line 8:
ORA-01785: ORDER BY item must be the number of a SELECT-list expression"

This is my query:

select substr(link_name_fr,1,50) as aname,
link_id as ID
from rp_link
union
select substr(event_name_fr,1,50) as aname,
event_id as ID
from rp_event
ORDER BY NLSSORT(aname,'NLS_SORT = French')

Can you tell me what was wrong and how can I fix this problem?

Thanks,

SM

Did you try:

ORDER BY NLSSORT(1,'NLS_SORT = French') as the error message suggests?
