I want to use rownum as the sequence number in the report but the result is not what I expect. What can I do?



drop table abc
/

create table abc (a char(1))
/

insert into abc values ('B')
/

insert into abc values ('A')
/

select rownum,a
from abc
order by a
/

ROWNUM A
---------- -
         2 A
         1 B

2 rows selected.
