"it depends" on the SQL engine.

A better solution would be to spell your query:

 	select ta.Name as Name, tb.DeptNo as DeptNo, 
	       tb.Title as Title, tb.Salary as Salary
 	from tblFacts ta, tblEmployee tb
 	where ta.EmployeeID = tb.EmployeeID
 	order by DeptNo

This forces the column names to be what you want them to be.
