Do you see any solution sorting on a composite type without using an outer query?


​Tacking on ORDER BY to an inner query is generally not the right thing to do.

​What can you not write:

SELECT q.* FROM () AS q
ORDER BY lower(q.name)​ ASC, q.status ASC
?

Also, ORDER BY r.status ASC in you original query shouldn't work - r is not visible at that point, only q is.
