Got a tough one here for you SQL junkies.
I'm working on a website (in ASP) for a national greek/college
organization. All it's college chapters have greek chapter names,
i.e. Alpha Chapter, Delta Chapter, Delta Iota Chapter, Gamma Phi
Chapter, ect. ect.
I need the SQL to return the chapters in greek alphabet ordering. See
below:
1. Alpha
2. Beta
3. Gamma
4. Delta
5. Epsilon
6. Zeta
7. Eta
8. Theta
9. Iota
10. Kappa
11. Lambda
12. Mu
13. Nu
14. Xi
15. Omicron
16. Pi
17. Rho
18. Sigma
19. Tau
20. Upsilon
21. Phi
22. Chi
23. Psi
24. Omega
Basically I need a way to specify this type of presedence for wording
and keep all the results in greek-letter order, so Sigma Upsilon comes
before Sigma Tau, and so on.
Also, to make it even more difficult, these are written words, not the
actual greek symbols like α β etc. Everything is stored in
the DB as Alpha Beta Whateva Chapter.
Hopefully some of you SQL junkies will be able to help on this one ;)
