  Hi

  i had a requirement. I have to select a number of rows from a table. From these rows i need to set rows to the top of the others. How can i do this?.

  For ex: myTable has the following structure

  ID,KeyId,Name,City,State.

  here the field "KeyId" referes the field "ID" in the same tables itself. I want to set the row with same ID and KeyId o top of others. This means the first item in the selected result should be a row having equal ID and KeyId values. Please do a help to solve this issue.
