Take the "a" out:

SQL

Select * from ( SELECT (convert(varchar, [InTime], 103))as Date FROM CarEnteries
Union SELECT (convert(varchar, [OutTime], 103)) as Date FROM CarEnteries)
Where (convert(DateTime, [Date], 103)) BETWEEN '08-05-2012' and '01-07-2012'
a order by (convert(DateTime, [Date], 103)) asc

becomes

SQL

Select * from ( SELECT (convert(varchar, [InTime], 103))as Date FROM CarEnteries
Union SELECT (convert(varchar, [OutTime], 103)) as Date FROM CarEnteries)
Where (convert(DateTime, [Date], 103)) BETWEEN '08-05-2012' and '01-07-2012'
order by (convert(DateTime, [Date], 103)) asc

BTW: never, ever store dates as strings. Store them as DateTime instead, then you don't have to faff with converting them every time you need to do any math. It also makes life a lot easier, because you move the internationalization to as close to input and output as possible - so the data in your DB is in a completely independent format.

There is a syntax error with your query.
There is an extra barcket at the end of carEnteries.

However, note that your query will still not work (after removing this bracket).

When you do a UNION, the columns returned in all the constituents of the UNION queries should return the same set of columns.

if ur [date] field datatype is datetime then use this query it will work

SQL

Select * from ( SELECT (convert(varchar, [InTime], 103))as Date FROM CarEnteries
Union SELECT (convert(varchar, [OutTime], 103)) as Date FROM CarEnteries)
Where [Date] BETWEEN '08-05-2012' and '01-07-2012'
order by [Date] asc
