I am facing problem in query result in which if i use order by on resultset returned after group by , the grouping order is disturbed .

select a.location_id,a.feed_date 
  from p_article_table
  inner join m_misc_details l on a.location_id = l.misc_detail_id 
   and misc_master_id=2 
   and a.location_id in (1,2,4,5,6,7,8)
   and  convert(varchar(11),a.feed_date,108)<'09:01:00'
group by a.location_id,a.feed_date 
order by a.feed_date

What should I do ?

The result after GROUP BY on location_id gives

1

5
7

8

But after I use ORDER BY on feed_date , the result gets disturbed

    The grouping operation is not affected by order by. The order that the grouped records are returned withoout an order by is arbitrary.

    Did you want this:

    select a.location_id,a.feed_date 
  from p_article_table
  inner join m_misc_details l on a.location_id = l.misc_detail_id 
   and misc_master_id=2 
   and a.location_id in (1,2,4,5,6,7,8)
   and  convert(varchar(11),a.feed_date,108)<'09:01:00'
group by a.location_id, a.feed_date 
order by a.location_id, a.feed_date
