sql server (alternate) : SQL Syntax problem

Hi all,
I have a SELECT with a varchar field and a number field.
I need to order by the text field (a,b,c...) for number < 2000, and
another order by for number>0.
The result may look like this:

Aaa 200
bbb 89
ccc 100
aa 2005
bb 2900
cc 2100
....

Is this possible with a single query ?

Can't figure out what the 'other order' ought to be, from your example, but
....

select * from Table
order by case when number < 2000
then text
else /*something else possibly cast(... as varchar)*/
end

Try this.

SELECT Cola, Colb
INTO #Temp1
FROM Table1
WHERE Colb > 2000
ORDER BY Cola
GO
INSERT INTO #Temp1
SELECT Cola, Colb
FROM Table1
WHERE Colb <= 2000
ORDER BY Cola
GO
SELECT * FROM #Temp1
GO
DROP TABLE #Temp1
GO
