Basically i'm trying to insert an order by function into a view, but this can only be done using TOP. What I have at the moment does not order anything, however; if I change "top 100 percent" to "top 99.9 percent" it will order only the 'Fname' and leave 'Lname' unordered.

USE dbo.
GO
CREATE VIEW wwOverdueVideos AS
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT Fname, Lname
FROM Member
ORDER BY Fname, Lname ASC
GO

there's no use in giving ORDER BY inside view as it will not guarantee order of returning resultset. For that you need to give order by in select statement which retrives details from the view like

SELECT * FROM wwOverdueVideos ORDER BY Fname, Lname ASC
