SQL用了Union后排序应该怎么实现

最近使用SQL语句进行UNION查询，惊奇的发现：SQL没问题，UNION查询也没问题，都可以得到想要的结果，可是在对结果进行排序的时候，却出问题了。

原因:

日常开发中，如果实用UNION ALL合并两个已经排好序的结果集的时候，需求是第二个结果集数据排在第一个结果集数据下面，单纯的实用order by是无效的，因为order by的优先级比UNION ALL低。

1.UNION查询没问题

SELECT `id`,`username`,`mobile`,`time`,id AS leader 
FROM `grouporder_leader` 
WHERE `courseid` = 21 AND `merchid` = 23 AND `status` = 1 
UNION ALL 
SELECT leadorderid,username,mobile,time,null 
FROM `grouporder_partner`
WHERE courseid=21 and status=1 and merchid=23

2.排序就出问题了

SELECT `id`,`username`,`mobile`,`time`,id AS leader 
FROM `grouporder_leader`
WHERE `courseid` = 21 AND `merchid` = 23 AND `status` = 1 
ORDER BY time DESC 
UNION ALL 
SELECT leadorderid,username,mobile,time,null 
FROM `grouporder_partner`
WHERE courseid=21 and status=1 and merchid=23 
ORDER BY time DESC

执行这条SQL语句之后就报错。

3.创建临时表

使用类似于创建临时表的方法保存查询结果，然后对临时表进行查询排序。

SELECT id,username,mobile,time,leader 
FROM (SELECT `id`,`username`,`mobile`,`time`,id AS leader 
	FROM `grouporder_leader` WHERE `courseid` = 21 AND `merchid` = 23 AND `status` = 1 
	UNION ALL 
	SELECT leadorderid,username,mobile,time,null 
	FROM `grouporder_partner` WHERE courseid=21 and status=1 and merchid=23
) 
ORDER BY time DESC

4.起别名

不知道为什么第3步中查询依旧没有，然后对UNION查询的结果起个别名，然后再查询排序就没问题了。

SELECT a.id,a.username,a.mobile,a.time,a.leader 
FROM (SELECT `id`,`username`,`mobile`,`time`,id AS leader 
	FROM `grouporder_leader` WHERE `courseid` = 21 AND `merchid` = 23 AND `status` = 1 
	UNION ALL 
	SELECT leadorderid,username,mobile,time,null 
	FROM `grouporder_partner` WHERE courseid=21 and status=1 and merchid=23
) AS a 
ORDER BY time DESC

结果就正确了
