    You can write them to a table -- add an identity for ordering -- and then SELECT from that table, for example:

    SELECT sql_text AS [--sql_to_run]

    FROM #some_table_name

    ORDER BY $IDENTITY

    You didn't say what the result should be if it is tied, for example, 2F and 2M?  In that case, I went with 'FemaleMix', adjust that if you need to.

    You need to change the Options..., Query Results, SQL Server in your SSMS to display more chars.

    You don't need (nor likely want) to toggle to text.  A grid display should...

  • Reply To: Printing Strings Longer Than 8000 Characters

    My first suggestion would be to use SELECT rather than PRINT, since SELECT goes up to 65535 chars (I believe, if you have the options set that way in SSMS).

    I don't think you need PIVOT at all in this case, unless I'm not understanding correctly:

    I do.
