Answer 1

Assuming a table name of table1, The following should yield the desired result:

select a.att1, (select count(*) from table1 b where b.att1 <= a.att1) as att2
from table1 a;

For every record, the query calculates the number of records less than or equal to the current record, which is then output as the sort index.
