RE: SQL and Order By Question


Ah...use the CASE statement I believe. Right SQL people?


/* Powered by General SQL Parser (www.sqlparser.com) */

SELECT ID,
CASE
WHEN ID = 'a' THEN 1
WHEN ID = 'b' THEN 4
WHEN ID = 'c' THEN 2
WHEN ID = 'd' THEN 3
ELSE 5
END AS SORT
FROM MAKTEST
ORDER BY 2,
1


Something like this would work.
