> When filling a table with "insert ... select ...", "order by" cannot be specified.
> There is not method to copy a table sorted into another table (except using export/import). This would be useful to optimize performance for big tables, or to create identity values that are ascending (related to another column).
> Example:
> create table temp1 (
>    s varchar(10));
> insert into temp1 values 'x','a','c','b','a';
> create table temp2 (
>    i integer not null
>       generated always as identity
>       primary key,
>    s varchar(10));
> insert into temp2 (s)
>    select s from temp1 order by s;
> --> Error: "order by" is not allowed.
> -- trying to use "group by" instead of "oder by":
> insert into temp2 (s)
>    select s from temp1 group by s;
> select * from temp2;
> --> "group by" did not sort the table.
