Hello,

 

   I have following problem:

 

I have table MY_TABLE with following records:

 

   NAME

-----------

   ccc

   CCC

   AAA

   aaa

   bbb

   BBB

 

When I use default select that sort all data by NAME:

 

        SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE ORDER BY NAME;

 

result is following:

 

   NAME

-----------

   AAA

   BBB

   CCC

   aaa

   bbb

   ccc

 

 

But I would like to sort all data as following:

 

   NAME

-----------

   AAA

   aaa

   BBB

   bbb

   CCC

   ccc

 

 

How can I write sql command (or set up ORDER BY options) for selecting that?

 

  

   Thank you in advance for answer,

   best regards,

 

   Julian Legeny
