Question

I try to do a paging function with images, it works well when I do the order by like this:

WHERE tblUploadedImages.ImageID NOT IN (
    SELECT TOP (@Exclude) ImageID FROM tblUploadedImages
    ORDER BY tblUploadedImages.Added)
    ORDER BY tblUploadedImages.Added

That works. But some images don’t get excluded when I show images 11-20 when I order by how many people that likes the images.

ALTER PROCEDURE GetMostLikedImages
    @Exclude INT
AS
    SELECT TOP (10) 
         (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT UserID) 
          FROM tblLike 
          WHERE tblUploadedImages.ImageID = tblLike.ImageID) AS LikeCount, 
         (SELECT COUNT(ImageID) 
          FROM tblUploadedImages) AS ImageCount,
         tblUploadedImages.ImgUrl,              
         tblUploadedImages.ImageID 
    FROM 
         tblUploadedImages
    WHERE 
         tblUploadedImages.ImageID NOT IN 
             (SELECT TOP (@Exclude) 
                 (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT UserID) 
                  FROM tblLike 
                  WHERE tblUploadedImages.ImageID = tblLike.ImageID) AS LikeCount
              ORDER BY LikeCount DESC, tblUploadedImages.Added)
    ORDER BY 
         LikeCount DESC, tblUploadedImages.Added

Somebody know how I can make it work if I order by LikeCount (how many persons that likes the images)
