SQL Server Forum / DB Engine / SQL Server / August 2007SQL view not sorted when import to Excel
I have a view in SQL Server 2005 that is sorted. When I import to Excel, it comes in not sorted. Where the problem on this? I also posted on Excel Gen Questions. Thanks.  SignatureRegards, Pat A view isn't sorted, as a table isn't. What you need to do is to have ORDER BY when you read *from* the view. Even if you have ORDER BY and TOP 100 PERCENT in the view definition, SQL Server will ignore it. Since ... a view isn't sorted.

Should I cut and paste the whole SQL statement in that Window? SignatureRegards, Pat > A view isn't sorted, as a table isn't. What you need to do is to have ORDER BY when you read *from* > the view.
