SQL: ORDER BY using a substring within a specific column… possible?

Question

I have a database whose columns are npID, title, URL, and issue.

Here is an example of two years\' entries:

npID               title               UR         


        

Answer 1

SELECT Column1, row_number() over(order by substring(column2,280,9)) 
FROM YourTable 

This will give the order by of substring column2.
