Code Insight in order by clause displays only columns specified in select
That is because Oracle only allows you to order by columns that you have selected. . .

Does it ??
select o.object_name, o.subobject_name, o.object_id, o.data_object_id
from obj o
order by o.created
I was under the impression that order by was for select items as well, but I don't know where (or even if) I saw that. The restriction has been removed. All fields will show in next beta. I still have a little tweaking left to show expressions that exist in the select list and to exclude items that already appear in order by.

Please, do not overdo it, I’d expect just list of all columns, otherwise when I’d get fairly complicated sorting with cases function calls and decode, I’ll not be able to use again.
Wow, I didn't even realize that. Guess I need to read the release docs more often to find out things like this.

I’ll let all fields display and look at perhaps adding some support for indexed field notation as well after John sent me an offline message with his thoughts.
I have been using another Dell tool as a model because their Code Insight has been well received. They have similar restrictions on what appears in various clauses, perhaps trying to guide a user towards best practice coding? I’m not sure what the reasoning is there, but it’s apparent that their user base and Toad’s are very different or perhaps they sold their implementation really well to management. 
This is yet another request to remove restrictions so I’ll look at removing all of them and let users construct anything they wish. Oracle will tell you if there’s a problem with the resulting SQL.
[EDIT] The other tool does do some things really well so of course we’ll steal those ideas.
Hey Phyllis,

For some amusement with your users, code up something like "select ...
from ... where ... order by DBMS_RANDOM.RANDOM;" They will eventually
notice the same query returning results in a completely different order!
Not that I would do such a thing!

That's fun, Norm! I like that.
And I realized why I recently came across error messages in trying to order by a column not in the select. It was when I was doing a group by, and of course it wouldn't work for that. So much for trying to be helpful here!

Even there it’s OK provided that the selected fields for non-aggregate functions are included in the group by. If you have that then you can add additional fields too it seems.
Right. That's what I did not have.
