convert time format retuned by a select query

От

I would like to subtract two columns - create_time and update_time of 'timestamp without time zone' type and then order results based on subtraction-result (time interval). I checked http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-datetime.html , however these examples didn't work with actual column values. e.g.something like:  
'select epoch (update_time) - epoch (create_time) AS Column1 from users order by Column1; '

Any hints or documentation liks will be really nice. Thanks.

Will this do?
test=# select update_time, create_time, update_time-create_time as diff from myt
 order by update_time-create_time  desc;
       update_time       |       create_time       |      diff
