Which is pretty much what the previous version tried to do.

I wouldn't worry about the cost of the try/catch. This only shows up
if you have a LOT of data to work with. However, if that's the case,
then the ORDER BY will need to put results on disk in order to sort
them, and the cost of disk access will be much larger than the cost of
setting up the exception frame.
