Of course, but in this case with this view there wasn't any such. It can
still be usable since we know how pg sorts and this is an internal query.
The real bug is in the pretty printer anyway. I was just surprised to see
the order by inside the union and not on the outside where it belongs (and
just moving it out in this case wont produce exactly the same result).
