Неправилно използване на UNION и ORDER BY?

Опитайте с:

(
  select 
    * 
  from 
     _member_facebook 
   inner join 
     _member_pts 
   ON 
     _member_facebook._fb_owner=_member_pts._username 
  where 
    _member_facebook._promote_point = 9 
  ORDER BY RAND() 
  limit 2
) 
UNION ALL
(
  select 
    * 
  from 
    _member_facebook 
   inner join 
    _member_pts 
   ON 
     _member_facebook._fb_owner=_member_pts._username 
  where 
    _member_facebook._promote_point = 8 
  limit 3
)

Въпреки това мисля, че трябва да поставите ORDER BY клауза в края на втората заявка
