Author  Topic  charlys Starting Member 3 Posts Posted - 2001-04-04 : 12:06:35 Hi Usually when we define a specific order for the records based on some field. (SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY Name), but I have now a request that the output recordset will be ordered in the same order records where entered. Example: I executed: SELECT name FROM users WHERE name IN ('Joshua','Jhon','Donna','Martel') The answer was: NAME ======= Donna Jhon Joshua Martel Is there a way to tell the SQL server that I want the output in the same order records where entered on the IN clause ? Thanks in Advance Carlos
