Bartosz,
Thank you so much!
That is the information I needed.
select "Id","Country","State/Provence"
from
(select g.geo_id as "Id", g.geo_name as "Country", gTo.geo_name as "State/Provence"
from geo g,geo gTo, geo_assoc ga
where ga.geo_id = g.geo_id
and ga.geo_id_to = gTo.geo_id
and g.geo_id IN (select geo_id from geo where geo_type_id='COUNTRY')
and g.geo_id = 'USA'
union
select g.geo_id as "Id", g.geo_name as "Country", '' as
"State/Provence"
from geo g LEFT OUTER JOIN geo_assoc ga on g.geo_id = ga.geo_id
where g.geo_type_id='COUNTRY' and ga.geo_id is null) as GeoList
where "Id" ='USA'
order by "State/Provence";
or alternate without camel case
select id,country,state
from
(select g.geo_id as "id", g.geo_name as "country", gTo.geo_name as "state"
from geo g,geo gTo, geo_assoc ga
where ga.geo_id = g.geo_id
and ga.geo_id_to = gTo.geo_id
and g.geo_id IN (select geo_id from geo where geo_type_id='COUNTRY')
union
select g.geo_id as "id", g.geo_name as "country", '' as "state"
from geo g LEFT OUTER JOIN geo_assoc ga on g.geo_id = ga.geo_id
where g.geo_type_id='COUNTRY' and ga.geo_id is null) as GeoList
where "id" ='USA'
order by state;
both work
Again my thanks,
Tom

This should work ("StateProvence" not gTo.geo_name), but You should remember to use " (quotation mark) when You use camel cased names. If not PG will treat fields names like written in small letters.
You should do something like this:
order by "StateProvence"
not
order by StateProvence
I would like to be able to filter and sort the sub-query in the parent query.
I don't get it, I assume You would like to sort/filter sub-query result in parent query. Then You should remember to use names of sub-query result columns i.e
gTo.geo_name is not visilbe, but geolist."StateProvence" is visible outside sub query
Regards,
Bartek
