The title is misleading, it seems as if your problem is getting the text out, instead it is about sort order.

Solution 1

Since this is a string Column this may not order correct assenting order as dates. if you need to get only date part from the column, you need to convert the column first as DATE TIME Column and then get the DatePart as TO_DATE('DATE', 'YYYY-MM-DD') and Call with Order By

Solution 2

Try this

C#

select empno, TO_CHAR(INCREMENTDATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY') AS UPDATEDINCRDATE, INCREMENTDATE
From sr_incr_details 
Where EMPNO=123
Order By INCREMENTDATE

and Ignore the last column.

Solution 3

Either change the alias so it is different from column name and then use it (with TO_DATE()) in order by clause or change order by clause to

SQL

ORDER BY TO_DATE(Substr(INCREMENTDATE, 1, 10))

If this solves your problem please accept the solution to make it easier for others to find it. Thank you.
