Return the query in a particular format

  • Here is my query I need to get All in the first row and the remaining in the alphabetical order

    selectdistinct State_Code,

    case when State_Code=' '

    then 'Unknown'

    else State_Code

    end State_Code2,

    1 as 'State_Code1'

    from Dim_Prop_Geo_T

    union

    select'All' as State_Code, 'All' ,0 as 'orderby'

    order by 'State_Code2'

    This query returns in alphabetical order .....I need all in the first row

  • You need CASE with ORDER BY clause, try this:

    with cte as (

    select distinct

    State_Code,

    case when State_Code=' ' then 'Unknown'

    else State_Code

    end State_Code2,

    1 as 'State_Code1'

    from Dim_Prop_Geo_T

    union

    select 'All' as State_Code,

    'All' ,

    0 as 'orderby')

    select State_Code, State_Code2, State_Code1

    from cte

    order by case when State_Code='All' then 0 else 1 end

    ... you may need to tweak the query for correct output.
