Ahh, shoot, it was the idate in the order by, not the select list. Both
"order by 3" and "order by max(idate)" work just fine.
Sorry for the noise... but still... I'm kinda curious, in my first
example, how you can re-use a column. Is there a way to:
select organization, state,
(select max(idate) from times where customers.custid=times.custid and
taskid = 27) as lastdate,
age(lastdate)
from customers
