With:

(select *
from table1
where col1=1
order by name)
union
(select *
from table1
where col1=2
order by random())

UNION apparently reorders all the rows of the result
in their natural order (sequence in which they where
inserted). Is there a way to have the first part of
the results ordered by name, and the second part by random()?
