Re: Multiple column sorting with a decode

| Hello,
|
| I am trying to sort on multiple columns using a parameter that I
| specify as the sort order.
| For example,
| ...
| ORDER BY DECODE(:param,1, '1, 3', 2, '1,4')
|
| While the order by works using any combination of columns, by using the
| decode, it does not.
| A single colomn ordering (DECODE(:param,1,'1',2',2)) works tough.
|
| Any ideas ?
|
| (the goal is to order trough multiple columns using a parameter
| specfying the order type.
|

col order noprint new_value order
select DECODE(:param,1, '1, 3', 2, '1,4') order from dual;

then
...order by &order
