As the others have said, the INSERT is not really responsible for sorting, the SELECT (and indices) does

*However* - if you create a clustered index[^] on your DB by dateofpayment, the DB will do what you're asking for ... but almost definitely not what you really want

I Agree with Manas. There is no meaning of using Order By for insert. but, if you want to select data from onother table then here is the code-

SQL

INSERT INTO table
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1
UNION ALL
SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table2) AS my_union
ORDER BY col1, col2, col3

Solution 4

write a function as below

protected void Load_Record()
{

SqlBtype.SelectCommand = "SELECT [TypeCode], [TypeName] FROM [BillType] Order By TypeName";

}

save_button()
{
string strSQL;
string dbConn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["CMC"].ConnectionString;
SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(dbConn);
sqlConn.Open();
strSQL = "INSERT INTO [BillType](TypeCode,TypeName,IsActive)VALUES ('" + txtBillCode.Text + "','" + txtBillType.Text + "',1)";
SqlCommand cmdBillType = new SqlCommand(strSQL, sqlConn);
cmdBillType.ExecuteNonQuery();
sqlConn.Close();
Response.Write("<script language='javascript'>alert('Data Saved Successfully...');</script>");
Load_Record();
}

gvBtype is binding data of my gridview :::::

<asp:gridview id="gvBType" runat="server" autogeneratecolumns="False" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
CellPadding="4" DataSourceID="SqlBtype" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None"
Width="587px" AllowPaging="True" onrowcommand="gvBType_RowCommand"
ondatabound="gvBType_DataBound" onprerender="gvBType_PreRender"
ShowFooter="True" EmptyDataText="No Records found !!" style="margin-left: 43px"
>

<rowstyle backcolor="#FFFBD6" forecolor="#333333">

<columns>
<asp:commandfield showselectbutton="true">

<asp:boundfield datafield="TypeCode" headertext="Code">
SortExpression="TypeCode">

<asp:boundfield datafield="TypeName" headertext="Type">
SortExpression="TypeName">

<asp:sqldatasource id="SqlBtype" runat="server" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:CMC %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [TypeCode], [TypeName] FROM [BILLTYPE] ORDER BY TypeName">

Solution 1

The physical order of data in a databse has no meaning. The order of insert is irrelevant!
So just insert and then use a query with an ORDER BY[^] statement to show the results in a specified order!
