只写

Select id,name,age
From Student
Where age < 15
Union
Select id,name,age
From Student
Where Name like "%a%"
Order by name

顺序被应用到完整的结果集

要将ORDER BY或LIMIT子句应用于单个SELECT，请将SELECT子句插入圆括号内:

(SELECT a FROM t1 WHERE a=10 AND B=1 ORDER BY a LIMIT 10)
UNION
(SELECT a FROM t2 WHERE a=11 AND B=2 ORDER BY a LIMIT 10);

Select id,name,age
from
(
   Select id,name,age
   From Student
   Where age < 15
  Union
   Select id,name,age
   From Student
   Where Name like "%a%"
) results
order by name

可以用这个:

Select id,name,age
From Student
Where age < 15
Union ALL
SELECT * FROM (Select id,name,age
From Student
Where Name like "%a%")

只写

Select id,name,age
From Student
Where age < 15
Union
Select id,name,age
From Student
Where Name like "%a%"
Order by name

顺序被应用到完整的结果集

为了使排序只适用于UNION中的第一个语句，你可以把它放在一个带有UNION ALL的子选择中(这两个在Oracle中都是必要的):

Select id,name,age FROM 
(    
 Select id,name,age
 From Student
 Where age < 15
 Order by name
)
UNION ALL
Select id,name,age
From Student
Where Name like "%a%"

或者(针对Nicholas Carey的评论)你可以保证顶部的SELECT是有序的，结果显示在下面的SELECT上面，就像这样:

Select id,name,age, 1 as rowOrder
From Student
Where age < 15
UNION
Select id,name,age, 2 as rowOrder
From Student
Where Name like "%a%"
Order by rowOrder, name
