Re: Question on PostgreSQL DB behavior w.r.t JOIN and sort order.

My concern here is that I want to maintain consistency ( in our application to retain sort order) between different
databases.
I don't see the issue in SQL Server and Oracle databases. 
"SELECT KH_.r_object_id, KH_.object_name FROM         dbo.dm_location_s AS ZS_ INNER JOIN
dbo.dm_sysobject_sAS KH_ ON ZS_.r_object_id = KH_.r_object_id "
 

The above query is sorted based on the first column in the select list. Same is not happening in PostgreSQL.
Is this something to do with collation setting in database?

What columns in a table would that be and then what order?
