Why can't indexed views have a MAX() aggregate?

Question

I have been trying out a few index views and am impressed but I nearly always need a max or a min as well and can not understand why it doesn\'t work with these, can anyone

Answer 1

if you just want to see things ordered without adding a sort by when you use a view I just add a column with and order by in it.

id = row_number() over (order by col1, col2)
