Aggregate rows into a sorted list.SQL

-- list and array_agg take in their own ORDER BY clause, so that you
-- can sort the aggregate. The statements order by cannot be used 
-- as the columns that are used for sorting then need to be a grouping
-- key and cannot be used in the aggregate

SELECT name, 
       -- Order the aggregated list by another column from line_items  
       list(item_name ORDER BY pos ASC) items 
FROM orders 
JOIN line_items ON order_id = id 
GROUP BY ALL
-- Order by grouping keys is ofc possible
ORDER BY name;
