If you’re getting an error that reads “The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and common table expressions, unless TOP, OFFSET or FOR XML is also specified” in SQL Server, it appears that you’re using the ORDER BY clause in a place that it must also be accompanied by a TOP, OFFSET or FOR XML clause, but you’re not including one of those clauses.
To fix this issue, be sure to include one of those clauses in your query if you need to use the ORDER BY clause.
