I have a stored proc. that i create a parameter to sort the data

CASE When @SORT = 'Beneficiary'
Then PBSA.dbo.activityhist.BENECUSTID
PBSA.dbo.activityhist.BENECOUNTRY
When @SORT = 'BookDate'
Then CONVERT(varchar(10), PBSA.dbo.ActivityHIST.BookDate, 112)
When @SORT = 'Bene_Country'
Then PBSA.dbo.activityhist.BENECOUNTRY
Else ' ' END SORTKEY

if i want to have it do a 2nd sort by country whats the syntax
CASE When @SORT = 'Beneficiary'
Then PBSA.dbo.activityhist.BENECUSTID
PBSA.dbo.activityhist.BENECOUNTRY

you cant return two columns inside same CASE WHEN condition. it should be


CASE  @SORT When  'Beneficiary'
Then PBSA.dbo.activityhist.BENECUSTID  
When 'BookDate' 
Then CONVERT(varchar(10), PBSA.dbo.ActivityHIST.BookDate, 112)
When 'Bene_Country' 
Then PBSA.dbo.activityhist.BENECOUNTRY
Else ' ' END,
CASE  @SORT When  'Beneficiary' 
THEN PBSA.dbo.activityhist.BENECOUNTRY 
ELSE 1
END
