Hi,

Check the DB table index is same with the second table.

Or these second tables for analysis/report purpose ie like the temp purpose than just select with order by class.

Sorry, Neil. I don't understand what you want. You'll have to be more explicit.

It doesn't sound like a processing issue but rather an issue of finding the proper ORDER BY condition.

In order to do that it's required to define a sorting criteria. In your expected output there is none I can find. Neither is it sorted by name nor by color nor by "first odd Idno then even and within each group ascending" or any other consistent pattern.

Please clarify.

There's nothing to sort on in the first table to present the data in the order of the second table. You'll need to build a "sister" table that has a predefined sort order.

Is there any business logic other than explicitly defining that the colors must be in a certain order?
