    But, I don't know why I am getting below error when I ran your way :

    Server: Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Line 27

    Ambiguous column name 'rollno'.

    Try this.

    It actually worked fine on my 2008 box but honestly I would expect to see that message too.

    select s.*, ISNULL(se.sortorder, 6) as SortOrder

    from student s

    left join #Sequence se on se.ClassName = s.class

    join

    (

    select rollno, min(ISNULL(sortorder, 6)) as SortOrder

    from student s

    left join #Sequence se on se.ClassName = s.class

    group by rollno

    ) g on g.rollno = s.rollno and g.SortOrder = ISNULL(se.sortorder, 6)

    order by s.rollno, ISNULL(se.sortorder, 6)
