Hello,
I cannot use order by in with my xmlagg clause. Any ideas???

Disconnected from Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production With the OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options JServer Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production

SELECT XMLELEMENT("Department",

           XMLAGG(
                XMLELEMENT("Employee", e.atrb_cd||' '||e.vw_cd)
				ORDER BY atrb_str_ord --this works if I -- it out
					))
          as "Dept_list"

FROM dim_vw_atrb e;

QL> desc dim_vw_atrb;
