Create a view with ORDER BY clause

Question

I\'m trying to create a view with an ORDER BY clause. I have create it successfully on SQL Server 2012 SP1, but when I try to re-create it on SQL Server 2008 R2

Answer 1

I've had success forcing the view to be ordered using

SELECT TOP 9999999 ... ORDER BY something

Unfortunately using SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT does not work due the issue here.
