U kunt haakjes gebruiken om het gebruik van ORDER . toe te staan /LIMIT op individuele vragen:

(SELECT * FROM some tables WHERE ... ORDER BY field1 LIMIT 0, 1)

(SELECT * FROM some tables WHERE ...)
ORDER BY 1   /* optional -- applies to the UNIONed result */
LIMIT 0, 100 /* optional -- applies to the UNIONed result */
