My query is
USE MyDB
SELECT DATENAME(DD, s.requestdate)
FROM sample_table s
WHERE MONTH(s.requestdate) = 12
GROUP BY DATENAME(DD, s.requestdate)
ORDER BY DATENAME(DD, s.requestdate) DESC
The output I expect is to be ordered by day of month in descending order but my output is ordered such
9
8
7....till 1 then 19, 18...till 11
What am I missing?
DATENAMEreturns a string.Use
DATEPART(DD,s.requestdate)instead as that returns an integer and will sort as you expect.
