I have a query in which I would like the items to be returned in a certain order, starting with those having value:
ID_ObservationType=1 and then 3 and then 2.
I used to order it 1,2,3 but now the client has asked for them items to come in a different fashion. Is there a simple way to request this via SQL, so I don't have to write some fancy to solve it.
On second thougts, simpler would be
NewSort:iif(ID_ObservationType=2,20,ID_Observation Type)
3  1792 
As a "Quick Fix" you could try adding a calculated field to the query
NewSort:iif(ID_ObservationType=1,1,iif(ID_Observat ionType=3,2,3))
and then sorting by that instead
Something along those lines
There is always someone who mucks up your carefully planned database :)
On second thougts, simpler would be
NewSort:iif(ID_ObservationType=2,20,ID_Observation Type)
Is IIF native SQL (I dont think it is). I would prefer to keep it in native sql if possible, for performance issues. But for now, I will go with your solution Delerna, thank you!
