   And the error message is? At a glance it looks correct, but you   
   know error messages are damned helpful at times.   
      
   Then again, Bob's suggestion is worth pursuing, since that could   
   permit the optimizer to use a plan that evades a sort. With long   
   ORDER BY you have, the sort is inevitable.
