Get Started
SQL Custom sorting
I need to be able to custom sort values that come from a query basically i have a query like this
SELECT Name from Table
and i want to be able to custom order the values
Ideally, it would add an extra field to the SQL query at runtime so the result would be something like this
Name SortOrder
