Sorting the data set

2652054Jul 10 2020 — edited Jul 11 2020

Hi Experts,

I have the below data set for sales order and sequence in a table. This table is at vendor location and I access the data via dblink. I can only select these two columns. Now i need to  select in such a way that i select distinct so numbers but it should be in the sorted as per below table ,i.e. 7037561280,7037567671,7037633589,7037630443,7037627397,7037601762 ....7037619156. If i do a select distinct or group by so number , i get distinct values but they are not in the same order as below . I tried using RANK and DENSE_RANK function as below to check if i can use these to get the desired output. But it does not work because when i do a partition by so-number , the rank again begins with 1.

Hence can you help me/guide me to get the sorted so_number from below data set. I used below script

            SELECT so_number

                         ,seq_no,

                       DENSE_RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY so_number ORDER BY seq_no) AS myrank

          FROM    

                      xx_om_sellout_data        

          order by seq_no

so_numberseq_no
70375612802
70375612803
70375676714
70375676715
70375676716
70375676717
70376335898
70376335899
703763044310
703763044311
703762739712
703762739713
703760176214
703760176215
703759636416
703759636417
703761915618
703761915619
