If a derived table (or a view) contains both a left/right join and an ORDER BY clause and the outer query also contains an ORDER BY clause, the latter one gets ignored.

Test query against the EMPLOYEE sample database:

select *
from (
    select
        emp_no, first_name, last_name, country, currency
    from employee
        left join country on employee.job_country = country.country
    order by last_name
)
order by emp_no desc

The result is ordered by "last_name".
