Order By Date

Oct 10, 2007

Hi,

I have this statement:

SELECT DATENAME(month, date) AS Month, COUNT(*) AS Total
FROM Table
GROUP BY DATENAME(month, date)

I want to order it in month order...

If i order it by DATENAME(month, date) then it is just in alphabetical.

Also is there anyway that all months are added to the result even if there are no records for that month (So it will just show 0 in the count)

Thanks for anyhelp

Convert Date And Order By

Apr 26, 2007

Hi!I have a little problem. I’m trying to sort a date I have converted like thisConvert(datetime,LH.LoginDateTime,103) as RegistrationDateBut when I use Order by on RegistrationDate it only sort on days:01/11/200601/12/200602/11/200602/12/200603/11/200603/12/2006I’ll guess it’s because of the “varchar� convert, but I need the date to bee inn this format, since I only shall check the date and not the time. Is there a way around this, so I can order it like this? (Se under)01/11/200602/11/200603/11/200601/12/200602/12/200603/12/2006Sample SQL;select Convert(varchar,LH.LoginDateTime,103) as RegistrationDate,select count(*) from LoginHistory AS LH2 where datepart(hh,LH2.LoginDateTime)<7 ANDConvert(varchar,LH2.LoginDateTime,103)>=Convert(varchar,LH.LoginDateTime,103) AND Convert(varchar,LH2.LoginDateTime,103)<=Convert(varchar,LH.LoginDateTime,103)) As beforehour07from LoginHistory AS LHwhere LH.LoginDateTime >='''+ Convert(varchar,@FromDate,113) + ''' ' + 'and LH.LoginDateTime <='''+ Convert(varchar,@ToDate,113) + ''' ' + 'group by Convert(varchar,LH.LoginDateTime,103)'Order by RegistrationDate

ORDER BY Earliest Date In A Row

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,I have a table (SQL Server 2000) with several date columns in it, all ofwhich are individually NULLable, but in any one row, not all the dates canbe NULL.I want a query which ORDERs BY the earliest date it finds in each row. I'mguessing I have to do this in two steps:STEP 1Using a UDF, find the earliest date and stick it in a new calculatedcolumn "earliest date"STEP 2ORDER BY this UDF-created columnIf this is the right way to go about this, is there a simple SQL way ofdetermining which is the lowest of several dates? (ie of doing STEP 1).Or am I looking at this the wrong way, and missing an easy *one-step* way ofgetting what I want?TIA,JON

How To Make The Order By Date Fine Enough In SQL

Sep 21, 2006

hi,I was pulling up a report in SQL, and I wanted the records to be ordered by dates descending. However, I found this ordering was only fine enough to order records by dates (not hours or minutes) (within the same date, records were ordered so that the latest entered were at the bottom). I wonder if anyone else has encouted this problem before, or I am doing something wrong.Thanks very much.

Sorting Date/timestamp Is Out Of Order

Jan 18, 2005

I have a problem with an Order By sort on a SubmissionDate column in my SQLSERVER DB.

I am inputing a timestamp in this format into the column above: 1/18/2005 11:03:19 AM

Problem is, once I sort this column in DESC order to return the results to a datalist dates with a time like this:

1/18/2005 1:03:19 AM

get placed out of place (lower on the return in DESC/higher on the return in ASC). I am assuming this is happening because it reads 1 as coming before 11 instead of after like it is with time. If this was in 24 hour format this wouldn't be a problem I guess because 1PM would be 13, so that is after 11.

Anyone know what I can do to get this sorted correctly?

ORDER BY [Date] Isn't Working Since It's Not A DateTime (it's A Varchar!)

Mar 4, 2004

Hi everyone.

I know, I know, it should have been a datetime from the start...but here's the problem.

I'm trying to sort by my date field but because it looks like: "04/03/2004 12:14:21 PM" it's not ordering it properly using:

ORDER BY [Date]

Are there any work arounds for this? Is there some way of doing:

ORDER BY covert(datetime, [Date], 103) or something?

Cheers
Andrew

Wrong Date Sort Order In Enterprise Mgr

Feb 3, 2006

When clicking on the header for the Date Created column in EM (SQL Server 2000) , in the tables list for a database, I noticed that the tables don't get sorted by created date at all - looks like random order, without looking too close.

Is this is a bug (probably not??) or some kind of collation-related problem?

SQL 2012 :: Select Record With Most Recent Order Date?

Jun 16, 2014

I am working on a query that needs to return the record order number with the most recent requested delivery date.

It seems to work most of the time, but I have found some glitches for some of the items.

example is my item 10702, it is showing 2 records (both valid ones)
Record 1 is order # 10450-0, requested delivery date 03/21/2014
Record 2 is order # 10510-0, requested delivery date 04/29/2014

I need to only get the records with the most recent delivery date, in this example that would be 04/29/2014

This query is what I have so far:

SELECT
s.PriorQuoteNumber
,s.PriorItemNumber
,s.PriorQuoteDate
FROM
(
SELECT
s.SalesQuoteNumberAS 'PriorQuoteNumber'

[code]....

WHERE s.rn = 1What am I missing in my query> how can I change it so it only returns the most recent date?

SQL Server 2005 Order By Date Does Not Sort Properly

I am using Access 2003 as a front-end to a SQL Server 2005 database.I make design changes using SQL Server Management Studio. I have atable that includes a datetime column. I create a view and sort bythe datetime field. When I initially look at the result it is sortedcorrectly. Then I save the view and re-open it and it is not sorted.I've simplified the view so it only contains the date field and itstill does not sort. Here is the view:SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT Period_DateFROM dbo.Period_SummaryORDER BY Period_Date DESCThe date seems to be a random order.I don't have this problem in the SQL Server 2000 version of thedatabase.Help please!Thanks,Jerry

Power Pivot :: Get Order First Date For A Specific Product And Customer?

Nov 18, 2015

I have a table with all my orders lines, I need to identify (DAX formula) for a specific customer which is the first order of a specific article (first date filtered for customer and article) and use this information to tag the order line for that article for the specific customer as "Newly Ordered article" if the order date = first order date or as "Reordered article" if the date on the specific order line is subsequent to the first order date.

I imagine I need to combine a Lookup date filtered for customer and article and use it with a IF formula.

Similar to this I would also like to define that if the first order for a product for the specific custumer is older then a certain date, then this would be defined as and historical customer for the specific article, if the first order on the article is more recent the a specific date, then this will be defined as "new customer for that article".

Interesting Behavior, Sql 2005 Std, Order By Date Convert To String

Feb 19, 2008

Note the code below, running on the version noted.

I just found this today, figured I'd share. Not sure if it's a known bug or a "special" feature. The only difference between the two queries is the 3rd line, everything else is the same. Notice that the sort order changes, yet no errors or warnings are given. I assume that the table aliases are ignored for the order by, unless there are duplicate column names in the results.

I abstracted this from a bug I discovered in one of my apps today, where I have sales reps assigned to their clients with start and end dates. A while back, a developer asked me to format the dates without the time portion, and when I did so, I introduced the problem. I resolved it temporarily by ordering by convert(datetime, startdate) but I found it strange that the column alias match overrides the table alias attempted match in the order by. Another way to get around this would be to change the column aliases, then the sort order would be as desired, but I didn't want to have to change the app code for something so trivial.

My apologies if this is a duplicate.

Analysis :: Order Of Rows In Tabular Table Not In Same Order Data Was Retrieved?

May 19, 2015

I never paid much attention to this before but I noticed this today in a new table I was creating.

For tables defined in the tabular model the table properties have something like SELECT Blah FROM TableName ORDER BY Blah Then in the tabular model the table's data is in the same order it was ordered by in the data source for the table.

I have a date table I setup and I noticed it is NOT respecting the sort order.

I have it sorted by DateID which sorts with the oldest date first and newest date as last row.However, the table that is imported and stored in the data model is not in that order.

I can of course manually sort the rows in BIDS/DataTools, but I find this discrepancy odd.

Would this have negative impacts on the EARLIER function for example if the data rows are not in the order specified?

Inner Join Orders a

Group by a.OrderID

My question is what if I wanted to create a formula to something like:

UnitPrice * Quantity - DiscountAmount Where DiscountAmount = UnitPrice Quantity * Discount

Do I need to create a function for that? Also is it possible to have m y query as a table variable?

I researched this for a bit but found no straight answers. My table has no PK, but an identiy column.

7Bank of abcde
6Bank of abcde
5Bank of abcde
4Bank of abcde
3Bank of abcde
2Bank of abcde

According to this result, user see the first 5 records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in page 1, but when he tries to view page 2, he still see the records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. This is not correct for users. :eek:

Of course we can add order by aid also, but there are tons of sqls like this, we can't update our application in one shot.

So I ask for your advice here, is there any settings can tell the db use default sort order when the order by column value are the same? Or is there any other solution to resolve this problem in one shot?

Default Sort Order When The Order By Column Value Are All The Same

Apr 14, 2008

Hi,
We got a problem.
supposing we have a table like this:

CREATE TABLE a (
aId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
aName string2 NOT NULL
)
go
ALTER TABLE a ADD
CONSTRAINT PK_a PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (aId)
go

insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
insert into a values ('bank of abcde');
...
... (20 times)

select top 5 * from a order by aName
Result is:
6 Bank of abcde
5 Bank of abcde
4 Bank of abcde
3 Bank of abcde
2 Bank of abcde

select top 10 * from a order by aName
Result is:
11 Bank of abcde
10 Bank of abcde
9 Bank of abcde
8 Bank of abcde
7 Bank of abcde
6 Bank of abcde
5 Bank of abcde
4 Bank of abcde
3 Bank of abcde
2 Bank of abcde

According to this result, user see the first 5 records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in page 1, but when he tries to view page 2, he still see the records with id 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. This is not correct for users.
