If I do a SELECT query on my newly created view, it shows all the data ordered like it supposed to be. But when executing an update against the view (with the rule in place) it just seems to ignore the order in the view. So i end up with exactly the same result as i would have executing an update query against the normal table? I am using postgres 8.4.2, not sure if that changes anything. Any help would be appreciated! Hi,
