Use a decode or case statement in the order by clause.

When saying "change", you mean UPDATE, right? If so, what's the algorithm that leads from "now" to "then"? Yes, you painted it on JPG, but - how do you explain it, using words?

Hi ,
Sorry foy my lack of explanation , waht i realy to make is mask (scramble) the data with reorder de records in a way that is really hard or impossible for development team or anyone else that have access to the database to reconstruct them.In practice i intend to keep some variables with the same data and the rest with different data not repeating to the original database.

Thanks for your help!

Would Masking sensitive data help in what you do?
