Alright I ran the Postgres query you provided and it threw an error:

ERROR:  missing FROM-clause entry for table "cu"
LINE 26:   cu.ordinal_position;

in the ORDER BY clause. Changing cu.ordinal_position to 
kcu.ordinal_position obtained a result when run for a table in one of my 
databases:

production=# select  rc.constraint_name AS name,  tc.constraint_type AS type,  kcu.column_name,  rc.match_option AS
match_type, rc.update_rule AS on_update,  rc.delete_rule AS on_delete,  kcu.table_name AS references_table,
kcu.column_nameAS references_field,  kcu.ordinal_position
 
FROM  (select distinct * from information_schema.referential_constraints) rc  JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage
kcu ON  kcu.constraint_name   = rc.constraint_name  AND kcu.constraint_schema = rc.constraint_schema  JOIN
information_schema.table_constraintstc ON tc.constraint_name = 
 
rc.constraint_name  AND tc.constraint_schema = rc.constraint_schema  AND tc.constraint_name = rc.constraint_name  AND
tc.table_schema= rc.constraint_schema
 
WHERE  kcu.table_name = 'projection'  AND rc.constraint_schema = 'public'  AND tc.constraint_type = 'FOREIGN KEY'
ORDER BY  rc.constraint_name,  kcu.ordinal_position;

-[ RECORD 1 ]----+------------
name             | con_fkey
type             | FOREIGN KEY
column_name      | c_id
match_type       | NONE
on_update        | CASCADE
on_delete        | CASCADE
references_table | projection
references_field | c_id
ordinal_position | 1
-[ RECORD 2 ]----+------------

column_name      | c_id

on_update        | CASCADE
on_delete        | CASCADE
references_table | projection
references_field | c_id
ordinal_position | 1
-[ RECORD 3 ]----+------------
name             | pno_fkey
type             | FOREIGN KEY
column_name      | p_item_no
match_type       | NONE
on_update        | CASCADE
on_delete        | CASCADE
references_table | projection
references_field | p_item_no

If this is not the desired result, then we will need more information.
