"Ascending" order is the default. You don't need to specify it. Beyond that, your code should run fine.

I would probably use a CTE, but that's just me.

SQL

;with cte as
(
    SELECT *,
           CASE WHEN call_case = '2-Answer' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END AS CallCaseOrder
    FROM   dbo.remaining 
    WHERE  username = @username 
    AND    status = @status 
    AND    company_status = @company_status,
)
SELECt * FROM cte
ORDER BY CallCaseOrder, PaymentStatus;

I think that's much easier to read. I also would avoid using "SELECT *". It's bad practice, and you can't tell it not to include your CallCaseOrder in the returned dataset.
