By default, ORDER BY sorts the column in ascending order.

i need to sort the column Without ORDER BY keyword in the SQL query, is it possible in SQL server 2008

Eg:
Select Seq.No from Student Order By Seq.No

it display Seq.No in Asc order.

GROUP BY clause also sorts the results. Difference is duplicates will be removed from the list

If there is no duplicates for the column Seq.No , then GROUP BY will also give result in ascending order

1) Select Seq.No from Student Order By Seq.No

2) Select Seq.No from Student GROUP By Seq.No

Using "where" keyword sorts the results. is it possible?

NO, there is no reliable order without using ORDER BY!
