If I supply 3 then its working. Error: Syntax error converting datetime from character string. SP: CREATE PROCEDURE sptest @Sort int AS SELECT R.ResourceID, R.ResourceName, R.ShowDetails, C.CategoryName, R.Locked, R.[Date] FROM tblResources R LEFT OUTER JOIN tblCategories C ON R.CategoryID = C.CategoryID WHERE (R.SiteID = 1) ORDER BY CASE WHEN @Sort = 1 THEN R.ResourceName WHEN @Sort = 2 THEN C.CategoryName WHEN @Sort = 3 THEN R.[Date] ELSE R.[Date] END DESC GO Thanks.
