ORDER BY applied to the result of a UNION has to be on the output
columns of the UNION. "e.type" etc are names of input-table columns.
Try just "type" and "nom", which will refer to the second and third
output columns of the UNION.
Pre-7.1 got this wrong (and would sometimes produce wrong output
ordering or even a backend crash, if the arms of the UNION didn't
all yield the same datatype).
