Specify Order For Select Results, Order By: Help!
Nov 17, 2006
Lets say I have a table named [Leadership] and I want to select the field 'leadershipName' from the [Leadership] Table.
My query would look something like this:
Select leadershipName
From Leadership
Now, I would like to order the results of this query... but I don't want to simply order them by ASC or DESC. Instead, I need to order them as follows:
Executive Board Members, Delegates, Grievance Chairs, and Negotiators
My question: Can this be done through MS SQL or do I need to add a field to my [Leadership] table named 'leadershipImportance' or something as an integer to denote the level of importance of the position so that I can order on that value ASC or DESC?
Thanks,
Zoop

Hello there,
I have two tables I selecting name using like with %string% from the two tables but I need to order the result comes from the two table:
1- the exact match for the search string come first from the two table.
2- and the partial match comes last after the exact match.
this is my DDL for the two tables :
USE [Northwind]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Person] Script Date: 04/25/2008 14:33:24 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Person](
[PersonID] [int] NULL,
[Type] [char](10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[Name] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[email] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
second table:
USE [Northwind]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Members] Script Date: 04/25/2008 14:33:52 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Members](
[MemberID] [int] NULL,
[Type] [char](10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[Name] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[Email] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
and this my search query I have it in a stored Proc.
select *
from
(
SELECT PersonID, Type, Name, email
FROM Person
WHERE (Name LIKE '%'@Name'%')
union all
SELECT PersonID, Type, Name, email
From Members
WHERE (Name Like '%'@Name'%' )
) Y
Order by
Case[Name] when @Name Then 1 Else 2 End,
Case[Name] when 'm' Then 1 Else 2 End

Hi!
I recently run into a senario when a procedure quiered a table without a order by clause. Luckily it retrived data in the prefered order.
The table returns the data in the same order in SQL Manager "Open Table"
So I started to wonder what deterimins the sort order when there is no order by clause ?
I researched this for a bit but found no straight answers. My table has no PK, but an identiy column.
Peace.

I am attempting to sort the results of a query executed against a table variable in descending order. The data is being inserted into the table variable as expected, however when I attempt to order the results in descending order, the results are incorrect. I have included the code as well as the result set.
DECLARE @tblCustomRange AS TABLE
(
RecordID INTEGER IDENTITY(1,1),
RangeMonth INTEGER,
RangeDay INTEGER
)
DECLARE @Month INTEGER
DECLARE @Day INTEGER
-- Initialize month and day variables.
SET @Month = 8
SET @Day = 11
-- Insert records into the table variable.
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (1,2)
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (1,27)
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (6,10)
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (9,22)
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (12,16)
-- Select everything from the table variable ordering the results by month, day in
-- descending order
SELECT * FROM @tblCustomRange
WHERE (RangeMonth < @Month) OR
(RangeMonth = @Month AND RangeDay <= @Day)
ORDER BY RangeMonth, RangeDay DESC
I am getting the following resultset:
RecordID RangeMonth RangeDay
----------- ----------- -----------
2 1 27
1 1 2
3 6 10
I am expecting the following resultset:
RecordID RangeMonth RangeDay
----------- ----------- -----------
3 6 10
2 1 27
1 1 2

Hi there,I'm a little bit confused here. I the TOP 1 function with ORDER BY DESC to get the last id in my table but it doesn't seems to work.Here's an example:SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM Worksheet WHERE Style='302' AND Notes='Automatically created from m0851System.' AND Title='STD COST UPDATED FORM m0851System' ORDER BY ID DESCSELECT ID FROM Worksheet WHERE Style='302' AND Notes='Automatically created from m0851System.' AND Title='STD COST UPDATED FORM m0851System' ORDER BY ID ASCSo basically the first SELECT should return the last id value of the second query but it doesn't.The first query gives me that: 60721And the second one gives me that:60680606816068360684606856068660718607196072060721610506112261124So as you can see my TOP 1 ID ORDER BY ID DESC should gave me this result: 61124Am I missing something or... ?Please help me this is aleready in function so I have to fix it ASAP.Thank you, Regards,OR-THO

Finding the "pieces of information" I need to successfully install the SQL Server Express edition is so complex. Uninstalls do "not" really uninstall completely, leading to failure of SQL install. Can you suggest a thorough, one-stop site for directions for the order of app uninstalls and then the order for app installs for the following...
SQL Server Express edition
Visual Studios 2005
Jet 4.0 newest upgrade
.Net Framework 2.0 (or should I use 3.0)
VS2005 Security upgrade
Anything else I need for just creating a database for my VS2005 Visual Basic project?
I was trying to use MS Access as my backend db but would like to try SQL Express
Thank you, Mark

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?

I have a query that calculate the total amount of order details based on a particular order:
Select a.OrderID,SUM(UnitPrice*Quantity-Discount)
From [Order Details]
Inner Join Orders a
On a.OrderID=[Order Details].OrderID
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?

Hi,
Sorry I have to post this here, but its sort of related to MS SQL anyway
I'm running a PHP system with MS Access. I need to order results in pages. (For those who are familiar with MySqL and Postgresql - I need the equivalent to LIMIT/OFFSET in MS Access).
I know I can "SELECT TOP 50" in my sql - so that solves the number of results per page.
But what about page 2,3,4..etc.... how do I select results from an offset?
There doesnt seem to be a solution for it
Thanks!

I have a simple example of what I am trying to do. Here is some code to make a quick table to demonstrate:
create table #students
(
lastname varchar(50)
,firstname varchar(50)
,address1 varchar(50)
[Code].....
I want to select all the records, and them them be in alphabetical order first by lastname, then by firstname, then by address. HOWEVER, and this is the tricky part, I want to group names together that have the same address. So, in this example, I want the results to be in this order:
HallC6309 N Olive
HallP6309 N Olive <---- grouped with the C record because they have the same address
HallE5488 W Catalina <---- back to alphabetical by first name
HallJ7222 N Cocopas

Hi there
We have a web application (database) that uses one field called Application and another called TicketType.
When a user fills out a ticket they can choose up to 3 levels of this field.
Eg Application, Application2, Application3
Eg TicketType, TicketType2, TicketType3
The extra two levels not being compulsory.
I am using sql server 2005 // Reporting Services
My query is as below:
SELECT Ticket.TicketNumber, Ticket.CreatedDate, Application_2.ApplicationName AS Application, Application_1.ApplicationName AS [App 2],
Application.ApplicationName AS [App 3], TicketType_2.TicketTypeName AS Tickettype, TicketType_1.TicketTypeName AS [Type 2],
TicketType.TicketTypeName AS [Type 3], Ticket.Description, Company.CompanyName
FROM Ticket INNER JOIN
TicketType AS TicketType ON Ticket.TicketTypeID = TicketType.TicketTypeID LEFT OUTER JOIN
TicketType AS TicketType_1 ON TicketType.ParentTicketTypeID = TicketType_1.TicketTypeID LEFT OUTER JOIN
TicketType AS TicketType_2 ON TicketType_1.ParentTicketTypeID = TicketType_2.TicketTypeID INNER JOIN
Application AS Application ON Ticket.ApplicationID = Application.ApplicationID INNER JOIN
Company ON Application.CompanyID = Company.CompanyID FULL OUTER JOIN
Application AS Application_1 ON Application.ParentApplicationID = Application_1.ApplicationID FULL OUTER JOIN
Application AS Application_2 ON Application_1.ParentApplicationID = Application_2.ApplicationID
WHERE (Ticket.CreatedDate >= @StartDate)
ORDER BY Ticket.TicketNumber
End result looks like this:

I'm working with SQL Server 2005, and I'm trying to sort the results based on a user selected letter. Say the user selects 'D' to filter his results. I'd like to return the results starting from D followed by E, F, G...Z, A, B, C. What I'm getting is the results for the D entries at the top of the result set, followed by A, B, C, E...Z.
A solution comes to mind that would be very long and db intensive, by querying on 'like 'D', followed by like 'E', followed by like 'F', etc, but I'm sure that there is a much more efficient way to do this. Below is the code that I'm using now.
' where @SortString = 'd' and @Test is a temp Table
BEGIN
Insert into @Test
Select CompanyName,ContactId, CompanyId
from vContacts where CompanyName like @SortString +'%'
Order by CompanyName
Insert into @Test
Select CompanyName,ContactId, CompanyId
from vContacts where CompanyName not like @SortString +'%'
Order by CompanyName
END
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
MSSQL 2000 T-SQL
I have a problem in extracting information pertaing to a key value and matching that key value to another transaction but the order is based on another value in the same row.
I've attached a sample of DB data below.
tran_nr ret_ref_no msg_type description
5111 12345 420 reversal
5112 12345 200 auths
5113 15236 200 auths
5114 46587 200 auths
5115 46587 420 reversal
Requirement using the above data is to extract data where the ret_ref_no is the same for more than one row but also check that the msg_type 420 happens before the 200. Is there a way of retrieving the information in this way using the tran_nr coloumn values? The tran_nr values is basically the serial number when the transaction is wrriten away to the DB.
I've managed only to retrive the 1st half of my query whereby the same ret_ref_nr is being used by more then one transaction. Still need to figure out the 2nd part where the msg_type of 420 happens before the 200.
SELECT * FROM SAMPLE
WHERE ret_ref_no in
(
SELECT ret_ref_no FROM SAMPLE
GROUP BY ret_ref_no HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
)
Results of query
5111 12345 420 reversal
5112 12345 200 auths
5114 46587 200 auths
5115 46587 420 reversal
If someone could assist with only retreiving the above results in bold to the query analyser i will really appreciate it.
Regards

Hi!
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Certain queries that work fine in SQL 6.5 and Oracle return inconsistent / inaccurate results in SQL 7 (with SP1). These queries include an IN clause with a range of values.
For example, the following query:
SELECT columnA, columnB, columnC, columnD
FROM table
WHERE columnD = 'I'
AND columnA IN (1,2,3,11,19)
go
returns a different result than this query:
SELECT columnA, columnB, columnC, columnD
FROM table
WHERE columnD = 'I'
AND columnA IN (1,3,11,2,19)
go
The only way we have stumbled upon to get accurate results consistently is to order the range values from largest to smallest:
AND columnA IN (19,11,3,2,1)
Have not seen this documented anywhere. We are in the process of re-ordering these ranges in our code, but I welcome any ideas or comments...
Thanks!

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

Hi,guys!I have a table below:CREATE TABLE rsccategory(categoryid NUMERIC(2) IDENTITY(1,1),categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY(categoryid))Then I do:INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('url')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('document')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('book')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('software')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('casus')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('project')INSERT rsccategory(categoryname) VALUES('disert')Then SELECT * FROM rsccategory in ,I can get a recordeset with the'categoryid' in order(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)But If I change the table definition this way:categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE,The select result is in this order (3,5,7,2,6,4,1),and 'categoryname 'in alphabetic.Q:why the recordset's order is not the same as the first time since'categoryid' is clustered indexed.If I change the table definition again:categoryname VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL UNIQUE CLUSTEREDthe result is the same as the first time.Q:'categoryname' is clustered indexed this time,why isn't in alphabeticorder?I am a newbie in ms-sqlserver,or actually in database,and I do havesought for the answer for some time,but more confused,Thanks for yourkind help in advance!

I have created view by jaoining two table and have order by clause.
The sql generated is as follows
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.UWYearDetail.*, dbo.UWYearGroup.*
FROM dbo.UWYearDetail INNER JOIN
dbo.UWYearGroup ON dbo.UWYearDetail.UWYearGroupId = dbo.UWYearGroup.UWYearGroupId
ORDER BY dbo.UWYearDetail.PlanVersionId, dbo.UWYearGroup.UWFinancialPlanSegmentId, dbo.UWYearGroup.UWYear, dbo.UWYearGroup.MandDFlag,
dbo.UWYearGroup.EarningsMethod, dbo.UWYearGroup.EffectiveMonth
If I run sql the results are displayed in proper order but the view only order by first item in order by clause.
Has somebody experience same thing? How to fix this issue?
Thanks,

I am getting the resultset sorted differently if I use a column number in the ORDER BY clause instead of a column name.
Product: Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition
Version: 9.00.1399.06
Server Collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
for example,
create table test_sort
( description varchar(75) );
insert into test_sort values('Non-A');
insert into test_sort values('Non-O');
insert into test_sort values('Noni');
insert into test_sort values('Nons');
then execute the following selects:
select
*
from
test_sort
order by
cast( 1 as nvarchar(75));
select
*
from
test_sort
order by
cast( description as nvarchar(75));
Resultset1
----------
Non-A
Non-O
Noni
Nons
Resultset2
----------
Non-A
Noni
Non-O
Nons
Any ideas?

Trying to build a list of order numbers based on stock availability.
The data looks something like this:
OrderNumber Stockcode quantityordered quantityinstock
123 code1 10 5
123 code2 5 10
124 code3 15 20
124 code4 10 10
In this case I would like to output a single result for each order, but based on stock availability order 123 is not a complete order and 124 is so the results will need to reflect this.
