I have following query:

(
select '[All]' as airline_name
)
union
(
select
distinct airline_name
from
staging_final
order by
airline_name
)

the purpose is to have [All] at the top and then the list of airline names sorted. but the result is not sorted by airline name:

[All]
Swiss
TAP Air Portugal
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
swiss Line Maintenance
Austrian Airlines
Adria Airways
Aer Lingus
US Airways
Air France
.....

can somebody give me a hint please how to get the result sorted?

thanks,

uwe
