Or just:
ORDER BY 1
I often avoid using the column names at all in UNIONed queries, as the names somehow seem to

Thank goodness that method has finally been deprecated.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
