Solution 1

For a view it's not possible to use Order By (as far as I know). What is possible is to define an Order By clause when querying the view itself ;)

Hi,

When ORDER BY is used in the definition of a view, inline
function, derived table, or subquery, the clause is used
only to determine the rows returned by the TOP clause.
The ORDER BY clause does not guarantee ordered results
when these constructs are queried, unless ORDER BY is
also specified in the query itself.

If you want to see the contents of the view in a particular
order, you must specify ORDER BY when you query the view.
