Hi

Posting DDL and sample data would help along with the output you require
from that data http://www.aspfaq.com/etiquette.asp?id=5006

If there are multiple B values for each A you will need some way of
distinguishing the one to use e.g.
SELECT A

FROM ( SELECT 1 AS A, 2 as B

UNION ALL SELECT 1, 3

UNION ALL SELECT 20, 3

UNION ALL SELECT 20, 4

UNION ALL SELECT 30, 1 ) AS Tbl

GROUP BY A

ORDER BY MIN(B)
