Hi,
I need to resort(order asc) words in a string.

declare @s varchar(50) = 'one two three four seven nine'

The string must be after sorting like this:
'four nine one seven three two'

Is a simple method?

declare @s varchar(50) = 'one two three four seven nine'
declare @sorder varchar(50)

SELECT @sorder= COALESCE(@sorder,'') + Val + ' '
FROM dbo.ParseValues(@s,' ') f

SELECT @sorder

for example we want sort this:
'b a c d e f g h i j k'

Only 'a' and 'b' need to exchange but your query split all string then sort them.

how do you know only a and b are out of order unless you parse it. so you've to parse the entire string anyway using any of the methods
