Hi Erich, > There doesn't seem to be anyway to create a SPARQL construct statement like the following: > I believe that the reasoning is that CONSTRUCT makes a _set_ of triples and sets don't have an order.

If this is the case, why have order by in a construct statement at all if one cannot capture this information as triples? The ORDER clause in your example is essentially a no-op. Obviously, however, it would be important if you also had a LIMIT.
