You haven't mentioned your Postgres version, nor provided anywhere near
enough information to let other people reproduce the problem.  You might
find it helpful to read this:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/bug-reporting.html

One comment is that your joining seems wrong: I'd have thought the
RIGHT JOIN should be LEFT JOIN for what you're trying to do.  But that
shouldn't make any difference to whether the sort order is correct.
