J Livingston SQL (7/26/2016)
is it as simple as this ....??
SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM #City
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM #Subcity) x
ORDER BY Years DESC, Citycode, subcitycode
edit....just rechecked my results.....aint what you have asked for....hmmm.
J Livingston was close. The confusing thing is that the parent city isn't displayed for child cities, but it's still sorted by the parent city.
SELECT Price, CityCode, SubCityCode, Years FROM (
SELECT Price, CityCode, SubCityCode, Years, CityCode AS CitySort FROM #City
UNION ALL
SELECT Price, SubCityCode, SubCityCode, Years, CityCode FROM #Subcity
) x
ORDER BY Years DESC, CitySort, subcitycode
