Custom order in Oracle PL/SQL
- by Jasim
I have an oracle query in which and i want the result to be in custom order 'SENIOR DIRECTOR', 'DIRECTOR', 'MANAGER', 'EMPLOYEE' which is from the field GRADE_DESCRIPTON. I am using the below query.
However I am not getting the desired result
The order of the result im getting is 'SENIOR DIRECTOR','MANAGER', DIRECTOR,'EMPLOYEE'
SELECT DISTINCT GRADE_DESCRIPTION, HIRING_FORECATS.* FROM GRADE_MASTER left join IRING_FORECATS ON (HIRING_FORECATS.GRADE = GRADE_MASTER.GRADE_DESCRIPTION and HIRING_FORECATS.LOCATION = 'HO' ) order by decode(GRADE_MASTER.GRADE_DESCRIPTION, 'SENIOR DIRECTOR', 'DIRECTOR', 'MANAGER', 'EMPLOYEE')
Any Suggestions??
