	| I am trying to customise an existing Oracle Report where in I got to add an sort on a field. 
 Here the query consists of Union of three Select statements on different views .
 I tried putting the "order by <field_name> " clause
 at the end of the query
 i.e after putting the query in closed brackets,
 But it gives the following error :
 Order BY item must a number in the Select-list expression.
 Please reply asp
