            column1,
            column5
        FROM
            table1
    ) a
    JOIN table2

Indenting with tabs

Using indent: "\t":

SELECT

        (
                SELECT
                        column1,
                        column5
                FROM
                        table1
        ) a
        JOIN table2
WHERE
        column6
        AND column7
GROUP BY column4

Imagine that these long sequences of spaces are actually TAB characters :)
