Someone was asleep in their RDBMS class! What is the most basic
property of a Table? It has no ordering by definition. To get an
ordering, you have to have a cursor.
T-SQL dialect is simply forgiving about the extra clause. What can
happen, however, is that when indexing or stats change, you will force
a needlessly expensive sort in queires using this VIEW under the
covers.
Also, why did you have SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT instead of a plain old
SELECT?
Next, stop putting those silly prefixes on data element names. They
scream out "Newbie who doesn't know data modeling or SQL!" to the
world. Then learn that names like "type", "class", "category", etc.
are too vague to be data element names. They beg the question "of
what??" Read a summary of ISO-11179 metadata rules for help.
