Subject: Query How-To


How can I go about ordering the following query by first name?

<cfquery name="emp" datasource="#dsn#">
SELECT DISTINCT(t.employeeid),
       e.firstname + e.lastname AS name
FROM transactions t
     LEFT JOIN employees e ON t.employeeid = e.employeeid
</cfquery>

The following query throws an error about a conflict between the ORDER BY
and
DISTINCT.

<cfquery name="emp" datasource="#dsn#">
SELECT DISTINCT(t.employeeid),
       e.firstname + e.lastname AS name
FROM transactions t
     LEFT JOIN employees e ON t.employeeid = e.employeeid
ORDER BY e.firstname
</cfquery>

Thanks,
Jim
