Hi,

I'm doing a stored procedure which will sort the resultset with a input column name. It will look like this -

select * from MY_TABLE order by @ColName

Is there a way to make it without using dynamic SQL?

Thanks,
George

Here is an example:


DECLARE @SortOrder tinyint
SET @SortOrder = 2

SELECT CompanyName,
       ContactName,
       ContactTitle
FROM Customers
ORDER BY CASE WHEN @SortOrder = 1 THEN CompanyName
              WHEN @SortOrder = 2 THEN ContactName
              ELSE ContactTitle
         END
