I noticed some weird sort order when sorting by timestamp. First, it sorts by time part of the timestamp, and then the sort date is used for records with the same time.
For me it looks completely wrong. Is there a way to tell Oracle to sort by date and then by time?
Thank.
The field is defined as TIMESTAMP (6), without a time zone. Here is the sort result:
10-JAN-11 11.18.36.368000000 AM
09-JAN-11 11.18.33.700000000 AM
08-JAN-11 11.18.33.704000000 AM
07-JAN-11 11.18.33.700000000 AM
06-JAN-11 11.17.40.705000000 AM
05-JAN-11 11.17.42.611000000 AM

Here is the request:
select period_end from table_name where entity_id=102167 order by period_end desc;
