My requirement is first execute Order By and after that get some records between them for Pagging.

Select emp1.* from (
select * from emp order by username
) as emp1 where emp1.empID > 10 or emp1.empID < 20

How Can I Do this ?

Thanks
Mitesh Darji

Mine had all sort of pivots and stuffs and a bit more complicated but managed to get it working the way it is supposed with Example-2. Great!

Granted, in 2005 in won’t kick out an error when you use TOP (100) PERCENT … ORDER BY but without the hotfix the query engine will actually ignore it and return the result unordered.

See KB 926292 for information on restoring the ORDER BY behavior that is present in SQL Server 2000
