| The order by value works for alpha order on columns, but I have a column with month names and would like to order this chronologically just like any calendar. Are there any simple sql commands do this? I can't seem to figure it out..Thanks, Jeff |

| So you have no other column that is of datetime data type? If you do, you can ORDER BY DATEPART(m, DatetimeColumnName).Tara |

| order by case monthname when 'January' then 1 when 'February' then 2 when.... endMaybe better to put the names and valuse into a table and join to that.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
