SQL CTE and ORDER BY affecting result set

Question

I\'ve pasted a very simplified version of my SQL query below. The problem that I\'m running into is that the ORDER BY statement is affecting the select results

Answer 1

I think you can add new column like

SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ;) AS RowNo

and then all your columns.. this would help you to query using the CTE anchor... using between, where etc clauses..
