Example 24.1. 

As the order of items in the vector repeats the order of passing individual values to the aggregate, it is possible to write, for instance: 

-- Get an ordered vector of X-es
SELECT DB.DBA.VECTOR_AGG (subquery.X)
FROM (SELECT X FROM ... ORDER BY X) as subquery

or

SELECT DB.DBA.VECTOR_AGG (subquery.Y)
FROM (SELECT Y FROM ... ORDER BY X) as subquery

and get vector of Y-s that are ordered by matching values of X-es.
