How to use "UNION" and "ORDER BY" together in SQL?

This is one of tricky question and I love tricky question so I am going to write this post. How if I run below query in sql server:

SELECT TOP 1 * from Employee ORDER BY EmpId ASC

UNION

SELECT TOP 1 * from Employee ORDER BY EmpId DESC

This query result in error due to incorrect position of ORDER BY cause we only use ORDER BY clause to the final result set.

Error Message:

There are many ways to recreate above query without error but the easiest one is following:

SELECT *

FROM (

    SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Employee ORDER BY EmpId ASC) FIRST

UNION

SELECT *

FROM (

    SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Employee ORDER BY EmpId DESC) LAST
