Maby this will work?
Get the unique o_id from the table orders and do a group by in a
subselect, and then select the other fields from the same table, ie:
select o_od, max(o_field1), max(o_field2) ... from orders where o_id
in (select o_id from orders group by o_id) group by o_id order by
o_id;
This off course assumes that o_id is a serial (and thus that timestamp
will always be higher etc.).
