    I have to agree with Jack on this one. My premise was based on only whether or not to use CASE or Dynamic SQL. The real key is that sorting is very expensive... send the unsorted data to the client and let the client do some of the work by sorting it.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
