• I have worked with SQL Server on and off for many years, but I don't think I recall ever seeing "ORDER BY [number]" as it appears in this question.

    Could some kindly person explain this to me, because a clear explanation seems to be difficult to locate in the documentation, and in searches. This little issue was why I failed this question!

    Many thanks
