I don't want all the AssignedTo groups grouped together however.Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:57:34 GMTkylemkr85http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1417938-145-1.aspxI have the following query below, but I want to ORDER BY a certain value in the Assigned To field first before it orders by ticket age. So lets say I have a AssignedTo value of 'Group1'. I want Group1 to be displayed first, then all remaining values to be displayed after by ticket age and group if that makes any sense.Current Query:SELECT DISTINCT wcv.contact_name ,wcv.contact_organization_name ,wcv.workitem_title ,wcv.workitem_number ,wcv.workitem_created_on ,wcv.assigned_to_worker_name [Assigned To] ,datediff(d, workitem_created_on, getdate()) [Ticket Age]FROM contact_view cv JOIN workitem_current_view wcv ON cv.contact_email = wcv.contact_emailWHERE wcv.workitem_status_lookup_value = 'Open' and wcv.workitem_created_on > '2006-01-01 12:00:00.000'ORDER BY [Ticket Age] DESC, [Assigned To] ASCFri, 08 Feb 2013 15:55:09 GMTkylemkr85
