Dynamic order direction

Question

I writing a SP that accepts as parameters column to sort and direction.

I don\'t want to use dynamic SQL.

The problem is with setting the direction parameter

Answer 1

This works fine for me – (where, order by, direction,Pagination)

parameters

@orderColumn  int ,
@orderDir  varchar(20),
@start  int ,
@limit  int


select * from items
WHERE        (items.status = 1) 
order by 

CASE WHEN @orderColumn = 0 AND @orderdir = 'desc' THEN items.[category] END DESC,    
CASE WHEN @orderColumn = 0 AND @orderdir = 'asc' THEN items.[category] END ASC,    
CASE WHEN @orderColumn = 1 AND @orderdir = 'desc' THEN items.[category] END DESC,
CASE WHEN @orderColumn = 1 AND @orderdir = 'asc' THEN items.[category] END ASC,
CASE WHEN @orderColumn = 2 AND @orderdir = 'desc' THEN items.[category] END DESC,
CASE WHEN @orderColumn = 2 AND @orderdir = 'asc' THEN items.[category] END ASC

OFFSET @start ROWS FETCH NEXT @limit ROWS ONLY
