ORDER BY in VIEWS outputs unsorted results - SQL2005

I know this is by design that if I have a VIEW that has a ORDER BY then the SELECT on that particular VIEW will not necessarily return the recordset back in the proper ORDER BY format. For example, if my vwNames does this: CREATE VIEW vwName as SELECT * FROM tableNames ORDER BY Name And ...more >>

Interesting SQL riddle
Posted by shlomoid at 5/26/2007 5:45:24 AM
Interesting SQL problem I've encountered, that i would like to ask opinion on, and maybe even a simple solution? I've extremely simplified it, so that only the core issue remains.
