We have un-ordered data in a table that needs to be inserted into a transaction table in
order of the date that the transaction took place.

Oracle does not allow "INSERT ..... AS SELECT ..... ORDER BY....." or "CREATE TMP_TABLE ..... AS SELECT ..... ORDER BY......"

Is there a method by which I can accomplish this.

Thank you in advance
