| I get this message [ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified.] when I added DISTINCT to my code. My CASE WHEN includes items that appears in the select list? What do I do?SELECT DISTINCT c.customerId, c.socialSecurityNumber, c.customersName, c.phoneNumber, c.emailAddress, c.languageName, c.targetGroupName, c.customerResponsibleId, c.customerResponsibleNameFROM Customers AS c LEFT JOIN UserSettings AS u on u.AllowUserToSee = @userid WHERE (c.customerResponsibleId = @userid or c.customerResponsibleId = u.UserId)ORDER BY CASE WHEN @sortorder = 'name' then customersName WHEN @sortorder = 'latestContact' then customersName WHEN @sortorder = 'birthDate' then socialSecurityNumber WHEN @sortorder = 'totalHolding' then customersName END |

| When you use GROUP BY or DISTINCT, then ORDER BY items must appear in the select list ! |
