在Postgres中订购WITH RECURSIVE查询

Question

我在Postgres中执行递归查询，以检索电子邮件及其线程子项的列表，如下所示：

WITH RECURSIVE cte (id, title, path, parent_id, depth)  AS (
  SELECT  id, 
          title,
          array[id] AS path,
          parent_id, 
          1 AS depth
  FROM    emails
  WHERE   parent_id IS NULL

  UNION ALL

  SELECT  emails.id,
          emails.title,
          cte.path || emails.id,
          emails.parent_id, 
          cte.depth + 1 AS depth
  FROM    emails
          JOIN cte ON emails.parent_id = cte.id
)
SELECT id, title, path, parent_id, depth FROM cte
ORDER BY path;

在查找子级电子邮件之前，如何更改列表的顺序（例如，按标题排序）。我显然需要保留外部的ORDER BY，以便按树顺序检索列表，而Postgres不允许我在UNION ALL之前插入ORDER BY子句。

谢谢，

这是未经测试的，但通常我可以在联合之前添加任何 ORDER BY，只要有括号......

WITH RECURSIVE cte (id, title, path, parent_id, depth)  AS (
(  SELECT  id, 
          title,
          array[id] AS path,
          parent_id, 
          1 AS depth
  FROM    emails
  WHERE   parent_id IS NULL
  ORDER BY title
)
  UNION ALL

  SELECT  emails.id,
          emails.title,
          cte.path || emails.id,
          emails.parent_id, 
          cte.depth + 1 AS depth
  FROM    emails
          JOIN cte ON emails.parent_id = cte.id
)
SELECT id, title, path, parent_id, depth FROM cte
ORDER BY path;

创建一个由查询的第一部分组成的视图，按标题排序。也许是这样的？

      CREATE VIEW title_Sort AS
      SELECT  id,  
      title, 
      array[id] AS path, 
      parent_id,  
      1 AS depth  
      FROM    emails 
      WHERE   parent_id IS NULL 
      ORDER BY title;

然后像之前一样将该视图与其他查询联合起来。我认为这会起作用。现在在我的上网本上，所以我无法测试：/
