Hi.

Maybe like this:

with t as(

select 'aaa@xxx.com' EmailAddress, 'ravi' EmployeeName, 5 UNo, 8989898989 MobileNumber

union

select 'bbb@xxx.com', 'ramesh', 7, 9898989898

union

select 'ariv@gmail.com', 'arivu', 13, 8989898989)

select case when Uno=7 then 1 when Uno=13 then 2 when UNo=5 then 3 end as ord, EmailAddress, EmployeeName, UNo, MobileNumber

from t

order by ord

What are the business rules for the display order?

Hi.
Maybe like this:
with t as(
select 'aaa@xxx.com' EmailAddress, 'ravi' EmployeeName, 5 UNo, 8989898989 MobileNumber
union
select 'bbb@xxx.com', 'ramesh', 7, 9898989898
union
select 'ariv@gmail.com', 'arivu', 13, 8989898989)
select case when Uno=7 then 1 when Uno=13 then 2 when UNo=5 then 3 end as ord, EmailAddress, EmployeeName, UNo, MobileNumber
from t
order by ord

Or just this, if you don't need an [ord] column in the output:

with t as(

select 'aaa@xxx.com' EmailAddress, 'ravi' EmployeeName, 5 UNo, 8989898989 MobileNumber

union

select 'bbb@xxx.com', 'ramesh', 7, 9898989898

union

select 'ariv@gmail.com', 'arivu', 13, 8989898989)

select EmailAddress, EmployeeName, UNo, MobileNumber

from t

order by case when Uno=7 then 1 when Uno=13 then 2 when UNo=5 then 3 end
