| I have a simple query that returns a list of items, which are then used by the application to fill a drop-down (combo) box.What I'd like to do is have the query return the results in ascending alphabetical order, except have ones with a certain prefix ("GTX_" show up at the end of the list (and those in asc. alphabetical order too).In other words:AlphaBeta...ZuluGTX_appleGTX_cherryGTX_Pineapplemake sense? |
