I have a stored proc which returns months year in nice words, but having problem ordering them:
SELECT count(id) as counter, datename(MONTH, PublishDate) + ' ' + datename(YEAR, PublishDate) as date
from BLG_BlogPost where active=1 group by datename(MONTH, PublishDate) + ' ' + datename(YEAR, PublishDate)
And that returns:
April 2009 (8)
August 2009 (3)
February 2009 (2)
How can i order them?
I have a column of type varchar that lists the values in this format:
SEP-09
SEP-08
OCT-09
OCT-08
NOV-09
NOV-08
MAY-09
MAR-09
JUN-09
JUL-09
JAN-10
JAN-09
I need to sort this list by descending order treated as actual date. I tried converting it to date and then tried to extract the year and month out but I keep receiving conversion errors. Does anyone know how to get this in the descending order to it shows up like this:
JAN-10
NOV-09
OCT-09
SEP-09
JUL-09
NOV-08
OCT-08
SEP-08
JUN-09
MAY-09
MAR-09
JAN-09
This is the closest I got but it keeps sorting the list alphabetically:
select distinct periodname, Convert(varchar,periodname,112) from periodtableorder by Convert(varchar,periodname,112) desc
I am a bit confused how to say this but here goes.I have a sql server 2008 database tablewhere I want to select rows by descending order of a [column name] and then select first 10 rows from that output.I was trying something like select top 5 * from (select * from movie_data order by hits DESC);this does not work and I'm quite new to query-writing.

I want to write a LINQ to Entity query which does order by ascending or descending based on input parameter, Is there any way for that. Following is the my code.
public List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail> GetPendingApproval(SortOrder sortOrder)
{
List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail> returnList = new List<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>();
int pendingStateId = Convert.ToInt32(State.Pending);
//If the sort order is ascending
if (sortOrder == SortOrder.ASC)
{
var hosters = from e in context.Hosters_HostingProviderDetail
where e.ActiveStatusID == pendingStateId
orderby e.HostingProviderName ascending
select e;
returnList = hosters.ToList<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>();
return returnList;
}
else
{
var hosters = from e in context.Hosters_HostingProviderDetail
where e.StateID == pendingStateId
orderby e.HostingProviderName descending
select e;
returnList = hosters.ToList<Hosters_HostingProviderDetail>();
return returnList;

I need to retrieve and display directory files in descending order. For example:
file-02_01_2010.txt should display before file-01_01_2010.
I am using DirectoryInfo.getfile(searchPattern) but that will return files in random order (or maybe ascending order, I am not sure). Is there a way to specify the order in which I need files to be returned? I know I can load them into an array, sort them, etc., etc., but is there any cleaner way?

I was wondering in which order MSSQL executes a command. Say if I have this statement:
select top 1 * from table1 t1
inner join table2 t2 on t2.productid = t1.id
order by t1.buydate desc
what is done first:
- find if there's a matching record in t2 through the join
OR
- sort the results in t1 based on the buydate?
And when I have a large database with many records in both t1 and t2, what are possible performance issues I might hit?
How do I translate the following query into LINQ to SQL?
