Fernando writes "I get an error when I try to execute the next query, I'm not sure if I can include an order by statement in a conditional if, maybe that's the error:

declare @cenco char(6)
set @cenco = '113200'
if (@cenco) <> '112601'
(select TOP 1 uno, dos
from X
where dos like 'something%'
and tres = @cenco order by dos desc)
else
(select TOP 1 uno, dos
from X
where tres = @cenco order by dos desc)

The question is: ¿can I include an order by statement in a conditional if?

Thanks."

What's the error you are getting? Looks fine to me. Not sure if the parens around each SELECT might be causing a syntax error, though; they are not needed.
